Elon Musk Announces a New Twitter Science Policy and Blames Dr. Anthony Fauci ‘Cannot Be Regarded As A Scientist’

Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday that the social media company’s new official policy will not penalize users for legitimately questioning scientific claims and narratives that are promoted in the media.

Musk’s statement comes after he took multiple shots at leftists this past week for their support of mainstream media narratives.

“New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science,” Musk stated.

Musk replied to Gad Saad in a tweet. He posted a video mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci’s decision to retire. Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives next Wednesday.

“Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist,” Musk responded to Fauci’s video.

One cannot consider anyone who believes that questioning them is asking science itself a scientist.

Prior to Musk’s purchase of Twitter, users could often face suspension or permanent bans for questioning some scientific matters, especially those surrounding COVID, vaccines, and transgender issues.

Musk called out Google and other social media platforms were also accused of censorship earlier this week.

Musk’s comments were in response to Glenn Greenwald, a left-wing journalist who tweeted: “For the crime of reporting that the US Security State agencies are heavily involved in Big Tech’s censorship regime, and for confessing that he found this deeply disturbing, liberals have spent a full week saying that @mtaibbi has mental health problems and needs therapy.”

Included in Greenwald’s tweet was a screenshot of one of journalist Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files threads.

“The government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm,” Taibbi stated. “These included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others. Industry players also held regular meetings without government.”

Musk replied: “Most people don’t appreciate the significance of the point Matt was making: *Every* social media company is engaged in heavy censorship, with significant involvement of and, at times, explicit direction of the government.”
