Elon Musk announces when he’ll release #FauciFiles, vows ‘it won’t be boring’

January 2, 2023 | | Print Article

New Twitter boss Elon Musk welcomed in the new year with a promise that things will not be boring, and followed up on that by teasing a “Twitter Files” release centered on Dr. Anthony Fauci, who just stepped down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“Hope you’re having a great day 1 2023! One thing’s for sure, it won’t be boring,” Musk tweeted.

When Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused Bill Clinton of raping her when he was governor of Arkansas, responded to say she was waiting on the Fauci files, Musk replied, “Later this week.”

Back in early December, Musk joked that the “Branch Covidians are upset,” as he spoke of a coming installment of the “Twitter Files” that would center on the suppression of factual information on Covid-19, which was released a couple of weeks later.

He also had social media users all atwitter when he set his sights on Fauci, tweeting at the time, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

When asked if the tweet would be further explained in a new Twitter Files release, the billionaire replied “yes.”

He would also clarify his take on Fauci’s role and responsibility in the Covid-19 pandemic when he tweeted, “As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.”

There was also this exchange:

On Dec, 28, Musk let slip that “the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife. He also shared that Twitter “had an internal Slack channel unironically called ‘Fauci Fan Club.'”

That same day he proclaimed, “New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science.”

That announcement resulted in this exchange with professor and author Gad Saad, where he once again let his views of Fauci be known:

Folks certainly have high expectations about what’s to be released on Fauci, with the only guarantee being that corporate media will turn a blind eye to whatever it may be that impacts a man they’ve spent the better part of three years running interference for, just as they have done on every other Twitter Files release to date.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
