What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAs we told you earlier, tech bosses are getting medals Thursday. What's new is the guest list, per CNBC.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCNBC reports President Trump will honor Elon Musk, Michael Dell and Microsoft's Satya Nadella at the science summit.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, so it's a science prom, and the CEOs all got asked. Do they get corsages? Asking for my gaming chair.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCNBC's read is that the picks signal the administration's tech policy direction, and possible regulatory favoritism. That is an opinion, not a finding.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFavoritism, bro? It's a medal. Nobody's ever gotten in trouble over a shiny rock on a ribbon.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have attended many ceremonies, Kenji. The medal is never the point. The photograph with the regulator standing nearby is the point.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the real award is the handshake. That's like getting a trophy for sitting near the trophy.
