You might think you're heroic for quitting Twitter, but this is next level. To be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) is one of the highest honors in science. @deevybee.bsky.social gave up her FRS because she didn't want to be associated with Elon Musk, who was elected FRS for space stuff. 👏

that’s Elon Musk FRS @royalsociety.org
The wilful disinformation being spread by Musk and others about the Minnesota assassinations on X is similar to what occurred after the UK's riots in summer 2024. Governments need to wake up to threats the platform poses to civil disorder and societal polarisation.

that’s Elon Musk FRS doing his bit for US science, @royalsociety.org
Hearing now that every National Science Foundation grant is having to go through a new “DOGE review”. So existing grants and long term science and technology research having to undergo review by one of Elon’s interns. Huge percentage not passing their muster.

that’s your boy Elon Musk FRS @royalsociety.org
Here is the crux of Musk and DOGE as senate report reveals elon Musk has $2.37bn conflicts of interest and this doesn’t include contracts he stands to make and legal actions he avoids through slashing measures that would have likely caused cases to be brought against him
Elon Musk’s Doge conflicts of interest worth $2.37bn, Senate report says
Committee calls figure a ‘conservative estimate’ and warns Musk may seek to use his influence to avoid legal liability

#OnThisDay in 1858, a seminal journal article comprised of papers by Alfred Russel Wallace FRS and Charles Darwin FRS on the theory of evolution by natural selection was published by the Linnean Society, the first public announcement of the theory of evolution. bit.ly/3k8fq4u

Sir Jeremy Hunt on Newsnight says any politician who seeks to exploit the horrendous Belfast stabbing is "utterly despicable", citing Tommy Robinson.

Hunt goes on to say of X's Elon Musk "he is using his money in a totally despicable way to foment problems that he will never have to deal with"

yup, that’s the distinguished scientist Elon Musk FRS

I would like to see Musk expelled. No FRS should be making Nazi salutes. And those with an FRS should work with and for science. Cf Paris accord, WHO, NIH etc. 🧪💉🏺♿️
Born #OnThisDay in 1627 was Robert Boyle FRS, Royal Society founder and regarded as one of the first modern chemists. Boyle also wrote a wish list of what he hoped could be achieved through science, including things like 'Attaining Gigantick Dimensions'. What would you like to see science achieve?

Musk FRS.
The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

More material for the @royalsociety.org’s bio of their esteemed fellow, Elon Musk FRS.
X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Why is Elon Musk still a FRS?

here you are people, Elon Musk FRS
@royalsociety.org
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Nigel Farage tells The Sun's Harry Cole that Elon Musk offered to give Reform loads of money "if we said certain things" and he refused. "I can't be bought."

Two things:

1. This is an allegation of attempted bribery. Very serious.

2. It shows the obvious: donors expect something for their money.

Put it this way, Elon Musk may be an FRS, but he’ll never be an FLS.

But listen out for first ep of Life Scientific’s next run (29 Apr) when my guest will be Tony Fauci (FRS, FLS).

Elon Musk FRS just doing his best for science
the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Yet another piece of scientific wisdom from Elon Musk, FRS
@royalsociety.org
Elon Musk a atteint le stade du « le gouvernement américain a financé des armes biologiques, dont le COVID, qui ont tué des millions de personnes »

On est à un degré de stupidité pure qui dépassent l’entendement

Cet homme a (illégalement) les clés du gouvernement fédéral US
