Calling for the arrest of Fauci – an imperfect but serious and dedicated public servant – syncs with Musk unleashing a torrent of Covid-19 misinformation on Twitter. — AP

There’s no longer any doubt: It’s time for anyone who’s not a QAnon believer or MAGA hat-wearing adherent of the far right to stop doing anything that boosts Elon Musk’s profit and power. If you’re on Twitter, leave. If you’re looking to buy an electric vehicle, don’t get a Tesla.

That may seem extreme, but a growing number of people and institutions have already left Twitter, from celebrities like Shonda Rhimes, Whoopi Goldberg and Elton John to institutions like the University of California, Santa Cruz and the Boston University School of Public Health.
