Are you also complaining about the existence of unelected supreme court justices? Cabinet members? Any political appointees? Civil servants? Cause I don’t see how makes sense otherwise..
Fauci was a civil servant and also an appointed official advisor to the president.
It has been completely standard for presidential advisors to wield significant political power for decades just think of Kissinger, Brzezibski, Scowcroft, Rice, Rove etc. (for better or for worse, my point is just that Fauci wasn’t somehow particularly unique or special).
These are official positions in the Executive Office of the President.
Musk is just some random guy who is seemingly allowed to do whatever he wants. I won’t comment on what impact Fauci’s recommendations might have had. However as far as we can tell he had significantly less direct power than Musk has currently (despite not holding any office, he’s basically a private consultant..)

Perhaps. Being only partially accurate is arguably still much better than continuously and obviously lying all the time and misrepresenting objective facts (like Musk or Trump).
