President Donald Trump is set to present leading technology executives with the United States’ top science and technology honors during the “Science: A New Golden Age” summit in Washington on Thursday.

Elon Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX, will receive the National Medal of Science alongside Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su, according to the White House. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell will receive the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

The National Medal of Science, established by Congress in 1959, recognizes major contributions to science and engineering. The National Medal of Technology and Innovation honors contributions to the country’s economic, environmental and social well-being.

“The Trump administration is grateful for the contributions of these incredible leaders in science and technology,” White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston said in a statement reported by CNBC. “These recipients are helping ensure America keeps leading the world in innovation.”

Fox News Digital reported that Thursday’s ceremony will be the first time Trump has presented either medal during his presidencies. The event also marks Musk’s return to the White House following his public falling-out with Trump after briefly leading the administration’s federal workforce-cutting effort.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: A source attribution needed correction to avoid overstating which outlet reported the first-time medal claim. - "Fox News Digital and The Punch reported that Thursday’s ceremony will be the first time Trump has presented either medal during his presidencies.": The sources say Fox News Digital reported this; The Punch only attributes the claim to Fox News Digital, so crediting The Punch as an independent reporter of the fact is misleading.
