The family of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg disagreed with an award given to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Fox News Founder Rupert Murdoch.
The awardees, which also included actor Sylvester Stallone, author and businesswoman Martha Stewart, and philanthropist Michael Milken, were chosen by the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation and announced Wednesday. Opperman was an attorney himself and friends with Ginsburg before he died. His subsequent foundation established by his family asked Ginsburg for permission to establish the award while she was still alive, awarding the first honorees in 2020.
“Her legacy is one of deep commitment to justice and to the proposition that all persons deserve what she called ‘equal citizenship stature’ under the Constitution. She was a singularly powerful voice for the equality and empowerment of women, including their ability to control their own bodies,” the statement read. “This year, the Opperman Foundation has strayed far from the original mission of the award and from what Justice Ginsburg stood for.
