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 don't think you understand. Musk's actual comment is slanderous.

Or perhaps Fauci doesn't go around suing people when he and most Americans see through the bullshit anyway. He asserted that Fauci's policies caused millions of deaths which has no basis in fact. I know if I were in Fauci's shoes, I'd be suing the shit out of Musk.

I'm hanging breathlessly on your opinion.
