US President Donald Trump will on Thursday present billionaire Elon Musk with the National Medal of Science, the highest honour the United States gives to scientists and engineers, The Hill reports.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Nvidia Chief Executive Officer, Jensen Huang, and Advanced Micro Devices CEO, Lisa Su, will receive the same medal at the White House’s “Science: A New Golden Age” summit.
Dell Technologies chief Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will get the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
Fox News Digital reported that it will be the first time Trump has presented either medal in either of his terms.
