Thirty-six others who were hurt were also taken to the town's Manor Hospital for treatment.

In 2019, an attempt to tackle the problem was set up in Delaware between the Winterthur Museum and the state university.The Poison Book Project tested books and drew up a list of titles which are potentially harmful to humans. These included four books in the National Library of France, which were immediately withdrawn.

Inspired by this, Erica Kotze called on her colleague Dr Pilar Gil, who trained as a biochemist before working in Special Collections at the University of St Andrews.Dr Gil took a practical approach to surveying the thousands of historic books in their collection."The most important thing was to find a non-destructive, portable instrument that could tell us if it was a poisonous book or not," she says.

She rule out X-ray technology because of the fragile nature of the books being examined and instead looked to the geology department.They had a spectrometer - a device that measures the distribution of different wavelengths of light - for detecting minerals in rocks.

"Minerals and pigments are very similar," says Dr Gil, "so I borrowed the instrument and started looking for emerald green in books."

She tested hundreds of books and then realised she was looking at a breakthrough."Ultimately it's not about the tech or the Tesla corporation," said Joan Donovan, a prominent disinformation researcher who co-organized the #TeslaTakedown protests on social media.

"It's about the way in which the stock of Tesla has been able to be weaponized against the people and it has put Musk in such a position to have an incredible amount of power with no transparency," Donovan added.Another aspect of Musk's empire that has raised the ire of his detractors is X, the social media platform once known as Twitter.

"He bought Twitter so that he had clout and would be able to - at the drop of a hat - reach hundreds of millions of people," Donovan said.There is another possibility here though.
