The Royal Society in London convened to address rising concern among scientists regarding Elon Musk's behaviour, following an open letter signed by over 1,300 scientists. The meeting, set for March 3, comes amid criticism of Musk’s influence over U.S. research policies and spreading misinformation. With two fellows resigning due to the society's inaction, concerns mount over the society's reputation and adherence to its values. Musk's membership, earned for technological advancements, is now under scrutiny as his actions contradict the society's ethical standards.
It is tarnishing their reputation and to some degree devalues the honour of awarding fellowships. Does one want to be associated to a society that does not stand up for its values?
Musk's involvement has raised significant concerns regarding the impact of his actions on critical US research programs, prompting a strong response from the scientific community.
