Jimmy Kimmel has made a brutal response to Elon Musk changing his pronouns to “Prosecute/Fauci”.
It follows the billionaire sharing a series of posts about President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor and immunologist Doctor Anthony Fauci.
The host appears to agree with a right-wing campaign to charge the doctor for his entanglement in setting many of the US Covid policies.
Musk shared a meme on Twitter from The Lord of the Rings which read “Just one more lockdown, my king…” in a dig at the measures taken against the Coronavirus in 2021.

The Twitter CEO then tweeted:
My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci

The TV host replied to this tweet by writing:
‘your pronouns are a** and hole’

Many are outraged by the Tesla CEO’s tweet – astronaut Scott Kelly tweeted:
“Elon, please don’t 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.”
To which Musk replied:
“I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.
“As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.”
