The Royal Society suggested Elon Musk resign from his fellowship due to perceived inaction against the Trump administration's negative influence on scientific research. In 2018, Musk was elected for his contributions to space and electric vehicles but faced criticism for violating the society's code of conduct. Moving forward, Sir Paul Nurse communicated concerns about the damage to science in the US, advising Musk to engage with affected scientists. Despite Musk's prompt response showing commitment, no investigation into his actions has occurred and further communications have gone unanswered.
Sir Paul Nurse wrote to Elon Musk on 19 March highlighting the extensive damage caused by the Trump administration to US science, urging him to intervene.
Fellows and scientists have protested Musk’s behavior, stating he violated the Royal Society’s code of conduct, leading to resignations and the return of awards.
