from MSNBC,
12/13/22:

I am so unbelievably sick of people using pronouns in a feeble attempt at being witty.

In a mere five words, Elon Musk, emerging darling of right-wing extremism and CEO of Twitter, managed to contain two hallmarks of the fascistic state when he tweeted Sunday: “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

The main offenses: criminalizing lifelong public servants whose political views deviate from those in power and scapegoating minority communities. 

The fact that over 1 million people liked his tweet — and that Musk has 121 million followers — is only part of why it should be taken so seriously.
