President Trump to award major tech industry leaders at the White House

President Donald Trump is scheduled to host a ceremony at the White House today to honor several prominent figures from the technology sector. The event marks a notable reconciliation between the president and Elon Musk, who will receive the National Medal of Science despite their public dispute last year. Other recipients of the National Medal of Science include Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and AMD CEO Lisa Su.

In addition to these awards, Dell founder Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will be honored with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. White House spokeswoman Liz Houston issued a statement expressing the administration's gratitude for the contributions of these business leaders. The White House also noted that the president holds a personal connection to the awards, as his uncle, physicist John G. Trump, was a recipient of the National Medal of Science in 1983. This event underscores a shift in the administration's relationship with major technology industry leaders.
