Overview

• The Royal Society will hold a closed-door meeting on Monday evening to deliberate on Elon Musk's alleged breaches of its code of conduct.
• An open letter signed by over 3,000 individuals, including Nobel laureates, accuses Musk of promoting conspiracy theories and spreading misinformation on his platform X (formerly Twitter).
• Professor Stephen Curry, the letter's author, emphasized that the issue is about scientific integrity and respect for evidence, not political views or conformity.
• The Royal Society’s code of conduct expects fellows to uphold the highest standards of behavior and scientific integrity, which critics argue Musk has violated.
• The Society has not indicated whether a decision about Musk’s fellowship will be made at the meeting, and any outcomes or discussions are expected to remain confidential.
