Ok but why tf is Elon a Royal Society fellow in the first place?

elisafadda.bsky.social•15 days ago

Precisely the point that some of us made and that Holly reported in a subtle but extremely clear manner "Musk became a fellow of the society — the world’s oldest science academy — in 2018 for his *companies’* development of technologies (..)"

Now that the expectations are so low I want to be made Royal Society fellow too. I even have a PhD and papers 🙏

As one of the >1100 signatories I was interviewed this morning for this, glad to see in print that all our voices resonated as one 💪🏻👏🏻

Good. He should be expelled from the society based upon their own bylaws.

How realistic do people (who understand the internals of RS) think an expulsion really is here?
