Family members and associates of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have voiced strong criticism against the decision to name Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Sylvester Stallone, Martha Stewart, and Michael Milken as the honorees of an award in her name. The critical voices label this move as an “affront” to the memory of the greatly respected Justice.
The Ruth Bader Ginsburg leadership award is presented by a foundation carrying her name and is intended to honor contributors to society whose efforts embody the spirit and legacy of the Justice herself. The choice of this year’s honorees, however, has obviously led to a wave of discontent among Ginsburg’s family and associates.
Musk, Murdoch, Stallone, Stewart, and Milken are all high-profile figures in their respective industries, their inclusion for the 2024 award has provoked a divided response among those closely connected to the legacy of Justice Ginsburg.
