Elon Musk says Fauci’s daughter was my daughter working for Twitter

The Twitter CEO Elon Musk responded Tuesday to a post on the platform about the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci's daughter working at the platform.

Fauci was asked if he knew anyone who works for a social media platform during the deposition. He said he had been in communication with Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Fauci, when asked if anyone else worked for a social media platform other than Zuckerberg, said, Well, a person who used to work as a software engineer for Twitter was my daughter. Why It Matters: Two state officials allege that President Joe Biden and key officials in his administration coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content ''dis-information,'misinformation, and'mal-information. Musk-owned Twitter said it would no longer label or remove posts that contain misinformation regarding COVID 19 (employees).

Fauci said that his daughter had no interest in the origins of the virus that causes COVID 19 and that she stopped working for Twitter over a year ago.

Fauci, the face of the U.S. COVID 19 response, announced he was stepping down from all his current positions.
