The First Amendment doesn't cover slander. Even a Muskrat should understand that much.
Not being a follower of Fauci or Musk, and avoiding the nonsense on social media whenever I can, I wasn't aware of any such slander. I was speaking only to the actual comment Musk made in the post referenced.
I have no idea of the evidence Musk may have that supports his claim, and as Fauci is not leveling lawsuits against any of those who have made similar claims about the result of his actions in regard to Covid 19, I have to assume that there is sufficient question to allow such remarks under the First Amendment as no one has proved their falsity. Fauci claims one thing, his detractors another. When proof in either direction is decided upon in a court of law, I will be happy to amend my remark, if it requires amendment.
