  2. Elon Musk’s fellowship of the Royal Societyremains intact after a meeting of the scientific body, the Guardian has learned, but questions remain about whether further action will be taken.
    Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO who also owns the social media platform X, was elected a fellow of the UK’s national academy of sciences in 2018, apparently in recognition of his work in the space and electric vehicle industries.

    Calls for the honour to be revoked have grown in recent months, as fellows of the Royal Society and the wider scientific community become increasingly alarmed by Musk’s conduct in relation to the academy’s code.
    Two eminent scientists have resigned their fellowships in protest against the lack of action by the Royal Society, while more than 3,400 members of the wider scientific community have signed an open letter organised by Stephen Curry, an emeritus professor of structural biology at Imperial College London, expressing similar dismay.

    Earlier on Monday, the Nobel laureate and AI pioneer
    #Geoffrey #Hinton – a fellow of the Royal Society – posted on X that he supported Musk’s removal.
    “I think Elon Musk should be expelled from the British Royal Society. Not because he peddles conspiracy theories and makes Nazi salutes, but because of the huge damage he is doing to scientific institutions in the US. Now let’s see if he really believes in free speech,” he wrote.
