Tomorrow, President Trump is awarding Elon Musk (and a few others) the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for scientific and technological achievement, marking Trump’s first time presenting this award.
"The Trump administration is grateful for the contributions of these incredible leaders in science and technology. These recipients are helping ensure America keeps leading the world in innovation," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said.
Trump will award the National Medal of Science to Elon Musk, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and AMD CEO Lisa Su, while Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will receive the National Medal of Technology and Innovation during the summit.
