Update. Adrian Smith, President of the #RoyalSociety, has decided to criticize #ElonMusk rather than expel him.
https://royalsociety.org/news/2025/10/statement-from-president-royal-society/
Smith's criticism focuses on Musk's "language of violence, and narratives of division and polarisation" and says nothing about Musk's violation of the Royal Society code of ethics or role in pillaging US science agencies.
Update. In a new open letter, UCambridge prof #RachelOliver criticizes #PaulNurse, president of the #RoyalSociety, for proposing to change the society's code of conduct so that Fellows (like #ElonMusk and #TimHunt) could only be expelled for scientific misconduct, and not (e.g.) for sexual misconduct.
