- Means accused Gillooly’s company of leaking false information to far-right influencer Laura Loomer, which Gillooly and his business partner Foster Coulson deny.
- A profanity-laced phone call between Means and Gillooly escalated tensions, with Means threatening legal action and involvement of RFK Jr. and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.
