Musk teases release of ‘Fauci Files’ on Twitter later this week

Elon Musk said he’ll release “Fauci Files” later this week to reveal how Twitter employees fawned over former top infectious disease adviser and media darling, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has come under scrutiny for allegedly misleading Congress on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Fauci, who stepped down from his longtime posts at the National Institutes of Health at the end of last year, has been criticized for funding risky gain-of-function research that some believe sparked the outbreak of the virus.

The expected release of more “Twitter Files” marks the latest escalation by Mr. Musk in revealing the company’s left-wing bent that led to the censorship of conservative viewpoints, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop computer story just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, and the unprecedented decision to permanently ban then-President Donald Trump from the platform.
