It turns out that "freedom of speech" advocate Elon Musk has an issue when people offer unsolicited information...interesting.
The latest round of "What Did He Say Now," has Twitter users calling out Musk for his insensitivity toward individual identification regarding pronouns.
Musk—who has been extremely outspoken against the "woke mind virus" and COVID-19 restrictions—tweeted:
"My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci."\u201cMy pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci\u201d
 — Elon Musk (@Elon Musk)
        1670756297
Musk, of course, was referring to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden, who is the leading advisor concerning COVID-19.
Musk—along with many far-right Trump supporters—called for the prosecution of Fauci regarding COVID protocols because, well, he disagrees with Fauci.

Of course, Musk's following approved his message.

        1670756297

\u201c@elonmusk Fauci is guilty of crimes against humanity.\u201d

        1670756297
Many others, however, did not take his statement lightly.
\u201cMy pronouns are he/him. And I want to thank Dr. Fauci for his long service.\n\nBe on the right and respectful side of things. It\u2019s better for your own soul, and better for others.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s America. You can select any pronouns you damn well please. But Anthony Fauci has likely saved more human lives than any living person in the world. Shame on you.\u201d

.@elonmusk 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. https://t.co/Vgu04XMGeZ
— Scott Kelly (@StationCDRKelly) December 12, 2022 
In true Elon fashion, he attempted to back up his claims—only to further reveal his hypocritical stance on free speech.
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.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 12, 2022 
His beloved Twitter weighed in.
\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly \u201cForcing your pronouns upon others\u201d - what the frack does this even mean?\n\nNobody is forcing anything on anyone. Respecting people\u2019s choice of pronouns is just a nice thing to do. It costs you nothing and shows respect for your fellow humans. Nobody is \u201costracized\u201d by this.\u201d

\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly You do realize that Anthony Fauci does not personally choose whose grant applications get funded, right? There's a whole process, with two levels of review, a study section consisting of expert scientists to score the grants and then a council to prioritize which ones are funded.\u201d

@elonmusk/Twitter
\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly It's fascinating that the new owner of this platform is openly saying his opinion about Dr. Fauci that would've certainly caused his account to be suspended by Twitter just a few months ago.\u201d

        1670805232

\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly Good G-d what is WRONG with you\n\nLGBTQIA+ just want some respect from a world which often ostracizes, abuses or even criminalizes them\n\nAll you\u2019re doing by trivializing pronouns is giving power to bigots\n\nAnd Fauci served the public for 50+ years\n\nI challenge you to do the same\u201d
 — Scott Kelly (@Scott Kelly)
        1670805232

\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly Wait, so putting pronouns in your profile is "forcing pronouns on others" now? \n\nBruh...\u201d

\u201c@elonmusk @StationCDRKelly A father who forces the name XAE A-12 upon his newborn son, should refrain from talking about pronouns.\u201d

Earlier this year, Musk's transgender child filed legal documents to change her name—dropping the surname Musk—and to legally declare her gender identity.
She listed the reason for her name change as:
"Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

When two people have a deep and meaningful friendship, the question might eventually come up of whether or not they could be more. Agreeing that their friendship might deserve more, they might try to date or at least explore physical intimacy.
But crossing that line carries with it consequences, and it's only once the pair crosses that line that they'll find out if crossing it was good or bad.

Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, responded brilliantly after Fox News personality Laura Ingraham attacked her for praising the mayoral primary victory of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City on TikTok, saying Ingraham spends her time "not caring about other people.”
Mamdani handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
