President Donald Trump presented the National Medal of Science to Elon Musk and several other technology executives in a ceremony held on Friday.
The National Medal of Science, the United States' highest honor for scientific achievement, is awarded each year to scientists and engineers who have made major contributions in their fields.
This year’s ceremony marked a notable inclusion of leading figures from the technology sector alongside traditional academic and research recipients.
Elon Musk, the founder of multiple high‑profile technology companies, was among those recognized for his impact on science and engineering.
The awards underscore the administration’s emphasis on innovation and the role of private‑sector leadership in advancing U.S. scientific and technological progress.
