By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Among the recipients were Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Jensen Huang, and Satya Nadella, many of whom are immigrants. The event, titled the "Golden Age of American Innovation summit," took place at the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace and was criticized for being out of touch with ordinary Americans during a cost-of-living crisis and amid scientific research funding cuts.
