news18.com

The Royal Society in Britain is considering revoking Elon Musk's fellowship due to concerns over his remarks about British politicians and his conduct during the Trump administration. Nearly 3,500 members of the scientific community have signed a letter calling for his removal. Musk's actions since taking over the social network X in 2022 have raised alarms about misinformation, particularly regarding public health issues. Some fellows believe his behavior violates the Royal Society's code of conduct. Despite the push for his expulsion, not all members agree. Some argue that Musk's achievements in science and technology outweigh his controversial statements. The Royal Society has decided to keep Musk's fellowship for now but is exploring further actions against misinformation.
