Musk and WHO Director Disagree on Global Pandemic Treaty

Elon Musk and the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, clashed on Twitter over a potential global pandemic treaty. Musk argued that countries should not cede authority to the WHO, while Ghebreyesus rejected the notion that the treaty would undermine national sovereignty. Supporters argue that the treaty can address the holes exposed by the world's response to the COVID pandemic, while critics say it would vastly expand the authority and resources of the WHO. Talks on the treaty are underway, with the goal of adopting it next year.
