The US Department of Energy adopted the ``laboratory leak theory'' that the new coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China as a ``low-reliability'' position, so the debate about the origin of the new coronavirus is heating up again. I'm here. Under such circumstances, CEO Elon Musk, who has a great influence on Twitter, expressed an opinion that he agreed with a net blogger's post saying, ``Did the top of the American medical community finance the development of the virus?'' , Chinese state media Global Times posted an editorial denouncing Mr. Musk.

Ma Sik, are you here in China?

There are two opinions about the origin of the new coronavirus that has raged all over the world: the zoonotic infection theory that it is an animal-derived virus, and the Wuhan laboratory leak theory that it is an artificially created virus. Yes, and various studies have been conducted from both perspectives.

Occasionally, self-proclaimed citizen journalist kanekoa.substack.com wrote about its origins, 'Dr. Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research in a lab in Wuhan, lied to Congress about it. And now , the FBI and the Department of Energy both conclude that the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab, so does that mean Dr. Anthony Fauci funded the development of COVID-19?' he tweeted. In response, Mr. Mask replied, 'He funded through a pass-through organization (EcoHealth).'




Dr. Anthony Fauci is an epidemiologist who served as Chief Medical Advisor under President Joe Biden, and is a person who is often mentioned as a point of contention while the Wuhan laboratory outflow theory is being discussed. Mr. Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for many years, and has taken the position of denying the theory that the Wuhan laboratory leaked out, but the financial resources secured by NIH are used as a non-profit. Since it was reported that the group provided it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, collusion with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the NIH has been suspected .

In particular, about half a year before the report, Mr. Fauci strongly insisted that he had never funded research to make the virus acquire a specific function. The possibility of using taxpayer dollars to fund virus development is being pursued, mainly by Republican lawmakers.

However, no clear evidence of NIH funding for 'gain-of-function' research has been found, and there is no connection between the research it funded and the emergence of the virus. The NIH has repeatedly claimed that ``it does not fund research that increases the infectivity or lethality of pathogens,'' and Mr. Fauci also dismisses the criticism of the Republican Party as nonsense.

This is the funding issue that kanekoa.substack.com says, and the nonprofit that provided NIH funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology is what Mr. Musk calls EcoHealth (EcoHealth Alliance). Mr. Mask did not agree with the Wuhan laboratory outflow theory by the previous tweet, but because he replied that he agreed with the opinion that `` Mr. Fauci helped fund the virus development '', the Wuhan laboratory outflow theory China, which strongly denies the

According to the Global Times, ``Documents that the U.S. Department of Energy cooperated with U.S. political forces that are hostile to China to hack the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China have been continuously exaggerated and amplified in media such as the Wall Street Journal, A right-wing blogger has resurfaced with a post on Twitter: Publicly available information states that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is collaborating with the EcoHealth Alliance on scientific research, but these collaborations are linked to the so-called viral virus. It turns out that it has nothing to do with the 'development of the new coronavirus' claimed by American adversaries and conspiracy theorists, let alone 'functional enhancement research.' Did you follow a right-wing conspiracy theorist?', questioning Mr. Mask's thoughtless tweets.

The editorial, written by the Global Times, is titled 'Mask, are you here in China?' CNBC Beijing bureau chief Eunice Yun, who shared the editorial, pointed out that it was a play on the idiom 'breaking the pot after eating'.




This is because Tesla, an automaker with Mr. Mask as CEO, has a vast factory in Shanghai, China, and China is the second largest market for Tesla. If Mr. Mask, who has a great deal of influence on a topic that can be said to be contraindicated for the Chinese government, touches on a topic that can be said to be contraindicated for the Chinese government, a rift may occur in the honeymoon relationship between Tesla and China. Bloomberg, who reported on this matter, commented , ``If you make a mistake, the outspoken billionaire could be embroiled in a geopolitical battle that could hurt his business.''
