Elon Musk and WHO Chief Clash on Twitter over U.N. Agency's Role

Elon Musk tweeted that countries should not "cede authority" to the World Health Organization (WHO), but the WHO's Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus rejected his comments, saying that the claim that the pandemic treaty would see countries relinquish power to the WHO was "quite simply false" and "fake news." The WHO has complained of an "infodemic" of misinformation and disinformation around the pandemic, and the international negotiations between member states began over a new pandemic treaty to avoid and deal with future outbreaks.
