Is Rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune cross-targeting on the tendon?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis suggests that simultaneous infections on one target triggers autoimmunity.  One infection on the outside of the target cell and one infection, like a virus, on the inside of the target.  

Is Rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune cross-targeting of mycoplasma and crystalline silica or epstein barr at the tendon?

Does crystalline silica replace the virus cross-targeting with a mycoplasma?

does the body see crystalline silica as foreign?

previously i had looked a synovial membranes as the autoimmune target
