Trump awards Elon Musk top US science medal
Original: 'Modern-day Thomas Edison': Trump awards Elon Musk top US science medal
President Donald Trump has presented Elon Musk with the United States' top science honor, with the award presented alongside comparisons to Thomas Edison. The ceremony puts a formal stamp of state recognition on Musk's record in technology, spanning electric vehicles, rockets and space exploration, at a time when his public and political profile remains closely tied to Trump.
Why now: The pairing of Trump and Musk, and the Edison comparison, is drawing attention to Musk's political alignment and his standing in American science and industry.
