The family of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has publicly criticized the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation for awarding Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch with the RBG Award, which honors Ginsburg's legacy.

Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch are seen as controversial by the Ginsburg family due to accusations against Musk of endorsing antisemitic views and permitting hate speech, and against Murdoch for propagating misinformation.

The Ginsburg family has distanced themselves from the award recipients, indicating a clear disapproval and stating they do not endorse the chosen figures.

The RBG Award, intended to recognize contributions to gender equality, has been expanded by the foundation to include male and female recipients, a move the family suggests deviates from Ginsburg's vision.

Despite the family's disapproval, the award ceremony is scheduled to take place next month at the Library of Congress in Washington.
