The White House takes an official stand: the vicious and personal attacks against Dr. Fauci by Elon Musk are dangerous, disgusting, and divorced from reality.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told the Beltway press that the vicious and personal attacks against Dr. Fauci by Elon Musk are dangerous, disgusting, and divorced from reality.

Musk has been tweeting to his over 100 million followers, anti-vax propaganda against Dr. Fauci at an alarming rate. On December 11th, Musk said he wants to prosecute Dr. Fauci.

Biden's White House press secretary was asked about Musk's behavior.

“We’ve been very clear about this. These attacks, these personal attacks that we have been seeing, are dangerous to Dr. Fauci and other public health professionals,” Jean-Pierre said.

“They are disgusting, and they are divorced from reality," she said. "These are incredibly dangerous, these personal attacks we are seeing."

Karine Jean-Pierre explained that Dr. Fauci has worked with seven different administrations and his entire career has been almost dedicated to civil service and public service.

"That’s what should be discussed right now,” Jean-Pierre said. “That’s what we should be thankful to him about. And again, these are incredibly dangerous and should be called out. I’ll leave it there.”

Musk is putting Dr. Fauci's life in danger, but he knows this.

The Daily Beast writes, "When you’re sharing conspiracy theories from a fake news website about the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, who really cares how many times you’ve voted Democrat in the past? And when you’re making common cause and exchanging in friendly banter with notorious far-right trolls, what does that make you?"

That makes Elon Musk a very dangerous right-wing troll. And Musk is the richest right-wing troll on the planet.

Promoting 4chan and QAnon dogma makes Musk a far-right culture warrior of the worst kind.
