š„President Donald Trump presented the United Statesā highest scientific honors to prominent private-sector technology leaders.
Among them was Elon Musk, whom he called āthe Edison of our time.ā The ceremony marked a turning point in their relationship and broke with the tradition of honoring academics, conferring the status of national heroes on CEOs and founders of large corporations in critical fields such as artificial intelligence and space exploration.
Award recipients š
National Medal of Science: Elon Musk (SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, xAI), Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Sergey Brin (Google), and Susan Wojcicki.
National Medal of Technology and Innovation: Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Michael Dell (Dell).
Immigration contradiction
The event highlighted a political paradox. While five of the six honorees are immigrants, Vice President JD Vance announced that same day the suspension of Microsoft from a visa program for foreign technology workers. This raises uncertainty about the future of innovation and the arrival of new talent in the country.
