Elon Musk claims ex-Twitter employees ran ‘Fauci Fan Club’ Slack channel

New Twitter boss Elon Musk revealed that former employees of the social media company managed a fawning Slack channel titled “Fauci Fan Club” — a reference to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.

Musk tweeted the claim in a thread that was highly critical of Fauci, who was accused by the mogul of lying about so-called “gain-of-function” research that some suggest may have played a role in the spread of the coronavirus.

“Despite these glaring issues, Twitter nonetheless had an internal Slack channel unironically called ‘Fauci Fan Club’,” Musk tweeted late Tuesday. He did not elaborate as to how many employees participated in the Slack channel.

Since taking over Twitter, Musk has been eager to show that the company’s prior management had a left-wing bias that promoted liberal narratives and banned conservative voices.

Musk on Tuesday responded to a tweet thread by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, who posted a meme that accused Fauci of lying.

Slack is an instant messaging program designed by Slack Technologies and owned by Salesforce. Although Slack was developed for professional and organizational communications, it has been adopted as a community platform. Wikipedia

They looney left climate cultist liberals who’ve been supporting Musk for years, by buying his electric car to go along with the Cadillac Escalade, the Hummer and the Lexus in their garages, have been stunned by his exposure of their formerly favourite forum for blathering their nonsense. Laying it bare that Twitter was a bastion of Liberal nonsense that banned free thought and free expression... Two things that the looney left completely detest.
