Oh yeah strictly speaking if you follow the scientific method you are doing “science” however what the twitter thread is getting at and what I’m getting at is that science without the scientific process isn’t the same thing. Typically in a professional setting we just call that research.

The scientific process contains the scientific methods but there is an aspect of connection to the scientific community. I’d argue that if you’re using a company to build and develop a working base of knowledge through the scientific method, you’re failing at the building and organizing knowledge part of that science definition by not sharing what you know.

Much more measured take than "if it's not published, then it definitely is not science."

For sure, and calling Elon a twat would be an insult to twats out there. But saying "if it's not published it's not science" to one of the greatest grifters while having to explain the nuance of what you tweeted is a big L in my book.
