Rogen’s Trump Critique Edited From Science Awards Show
At the Breakthrough Prize ceremony, Seth Rogen’s unscripted criticism of President Trump’s detrimental impact on American science was omitted from the event’s official recording. Rogen’s remarks, which alluded to Elon Musk’s financial support of Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as health secretary, highlighted the administration’s attacks on scientific institutions and funding. The Breakthrough Prize foundation cited time constraints as the reason for the edit, despite the considerable length of the unedited ceremony. This censorship occurred despite the presence of prominent tech leaders who had previously donated to Trump’s inauguration.
