NOT A SCIENTIST! Musk Torches Fauci, “Cannot Be Regarded as a Scientist”

Published on December 30, 2022

Prior to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, users could often face suspension or permanent bans for questioning some scientific matters, especially those surrounding COVID, vaccines, and transgender issues.

Following Musk’s acquisition, the tech billionaire re-instated several accounts as he dropped the draconian anti-free speech rules that were in place.

He also authorized the release of “The Twitter Files”.

Journalist Matt Taibbi’s comments were in the latest Twitter Files threads.

“The government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm,” Taibbi said. “These included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others. Industry players also held regular meetings without government.”

Musk responded, “Most people don’t appreciate the significance of the point Matt was making: *Every* social media company is engaged in heavy censorship, with significant involvement of and, at times, the explicit direction of the government.”

Musk has announced that he updated Twitter’s science policy —and he has some thoughts on Dr. Anthony Fauci.

According to a report from The Daily Wire, Twitter’s New CEO announced an update to the platform’s science policy on Wednesday; Musk says “[n]ew Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science.”

In a subsequent tweet, Musk responded to professor Gad Saad, who posted a video mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci and his decision to retire as Republicans are set to take over the House of Representatives next week.

“Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist,” Musk said in response to the video about Fauci.
