It’s the first time Trump has EVER presented the medal, and his uncle John G. Trump won it under Reagan

“The Trump administration is grateful for the contributions of these incredible leaders in science and technology. These recipients are helping ensure America keeps leading the world in innovation,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston told Fox News Digital.

X users celebrated the news and agreed Musk is richly deserving of the accolades:

@SaveUSAKitty Elon is the guy people like Bernie Sanders want to steal all his money from!

They hate civilization.

Interestingly, President Trump has a close “tie” to the award, as Fox News Digital pointed out:

“His uncle, John G. Trump, was posthumously awarded the National Medal of Science by President Ronald Reagan for his pioneering work involving ionizing radiation and its applications in medicine, industry and atomic physics,” Fox reported.
