Elon Musk called one of the world's top lockdown advocates an 'utter tool' who does 'absurdly fake science' after he was caught breaking his own rules to meet his lover.
Elon Musk says Professor Neil Ferguson is a "tool" after admitting that he broke the rules of the lockdown he advocated for to meet in secret with his lover.
Ferguson, a top advisor to the UK government whose work convinced the government to enforce a lockdown, resigned on Tuesday.
The Telegraph broke the news that his married lover was visiting him at his London home, in violation of government rules.
Musk also said: "This guy has caused massive strife to the world with his absurdly fake 'science'."
Ferguson's work helped make the case for lockdowns around the world, but has been criticized since by many — including Musk — who think the measures taken are excessive.
