Trump gives top science prizes to tech donors Musk, Huang, Brin, Su
The White House awarded the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation to executives whose companies have donated nearly $6 billion to Trump-aligned efforts, TechCrunch reports.
President Trump awarded Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Sergey Brin and AMD's Lisa Su the National Medal of Science on Thursday, according to TechCrunch. The ceremony took place at the Golden Age of American Innovation Summit.
Michael Dell of Dell Technologies and Microsoft's Satya Nadella received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
The New Republic reports that the awardees' companies have donated nearly $6 billion to efforts tied to Trump and his administration. Alphabet and Microsoft contributed to the president's inauguration fund and White House ballroom. AMD gave to a pro-Trump Super PAC. Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion to help fund the Trump Accounts, the administration's savings program for children.
Trump said the honorees had helped "pioneer an incredible future for America," adding that because of them, "we will always be on top. No one else can compete with us."
Nadella received his medal shortly after the administration indefinitely suspended Microsoft from the H-1B program, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers.
