The Royal Society decided against disciplinary action against Elon Musk, despite fellow members' concerns about his conduct.
Musk's actions, including controversial statements and funding cuts, prompted calls for an investigation into his adherence to the society's code of conduct.
The society's council believes that pursuing an investigation could potentially harm the organization and the advancement of science overall.
Instead, the Royal Society plans to focus its efforts on supporting science and countering attacks on the scientific community.
