I should have added, well done Kit, definitely the correct decision. I hope others take similar steps.

It seems dubious why he was admitted in the first place. He knows how to buy innovation and he also knows how to destroy innovation.

I agree... pretty fundamental stuff here'... science as pro-social education ideally in the service of life, that is Open Science as distinct from the latest Arms Race being built from proprietary and secret structures? The RS is a sad adjunct in this case to a battle between 'elites' (follow the money) for the command structure of the over-stretched empire in an over-stretched global industrial civilisation? It is going to get a lot wilder methinks.

Well done Kit. Thank you and I hope the RS will reverse its decision.

Thank you so much. I was horrified when I read that the RS had not specifically discussed him yesterday, let alone expelled him. I cannot imagine what could bring science into disrepute more than Musk’s behaviour over recent months. Congratulations on taking a stand. I do hope that others follow.
