The Royal Society is set to hold a meeting after an open letter was signed by thousands of people over the society’s “failure” to recognise fellow Elon Musk “has acted in contravention of its own code of conduct”.
The billionaire, who leads the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) set up by US President Donald Trump and owns the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is a fellow of the society, which is a “fellowship of many of the world’s most eminent scientists” and the “independent scientific academy of the UK”.
