.@elonmusk Elon, please dont mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community. They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.

As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.
