Professor Stephen Curry is leading a campaign to remove Elon Musk as a Fellow of the Royal Society. He has written an open letter calling for his expulsion that, so far, has attracted 2,300 signatures.

The Royal Society is a self-governing fellowship of many of the world’s most eminent scientists, engineers and technologists. Musk was made a Fellow in 2018.

In its 364-year history, only two Fellows have been expelled, one in 1709 for not paying his dues, and another in 1775 for fraud. To expel someone for their political views would be unprecedented and would do far more to bring the Royal Society into disrepute than anything Musk has ever said.

Curry is not a Fellow of the Royal Society. He’s a university EDI bureaucrat – a ‘diversitycrat’ – with a long track record as a cancel-culture warrior.

He is also one of the architects of disturbing plans to embed compliance with anti-scientific and discriminatory EDI theories into research funding in the UK.
