President Trump presents Elon Musk with the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for scientific and engineering achievement—and hails him as “an industrial titan, a brilliant engineer, and one of the greatest technology founders to ever live.”
Trump called Musk “our modern-day Thomas Edison” and a “national treasure,” praising his work across SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and more. He noted that few Americans have done more to advance the national interest, turning science fiction into reality through reusable rockets, electric vehicles, satellite networks, and other breakthroughs.
Musk’s accomplishments place him on the scale of historic innovators like Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, or even Leonardo da Vinci. Figures whose inventions reshaped industries and expanded human possibility.
The award was presented on October 8, 2026, at the White House’s “Science: A New Golden Age” Summit,
