Tech billionaire Elon Musk and media mogul Rupert Murdoch will no longer receive the RBG award after unhappy left-leaning singer Barbra Streisand complained.
The RBG leadership award, named after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is presented by the Opperman Foundation every year and includes Barbra Streisand as a past recipient. When the singer learned the award would be going to Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch, she immediately voiced her displeasure in
“Last year I was proud to accept the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Woman of Leadership Award in memory of one of the most esteemed public figures in American history. I was especially honored that Justice Sonia Sotomayor made the presentation,” she said.“Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor stand as two of the most respected women role models, and their commitment to democratic values, especially women’s rights, is unequaled.
Keeping in mind that our goal is only to do good, the Foundation is not interested in creating controversy. It is not interested in generating a debate about whether particular honorees are worthy or not. And whileconcept of EQUALITY for women was very controversial for most of her life, the Foundation does not intend to enter the fray. Indeed,It is important to note, that the last thing we intended was to offend the family and friends of RBG.
