The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a big fan of Elon Musk, often mentioning his companies’ technical accomplishments in its Twitter feed, publishing positive pieces in its Spectrum news site, and even making up cool graphics with Elon quotes like the one you see to the left.
According to TechCentral – and who are we to doubt them – the organization will bestow upon the entrepreneur an honorary lifetime membership for “…his leadership in and innovative contributions to space-exploration technology, combating global warming and promoting science education, paediatric health and clean energy.” The IEEE intends to officially make the pronouncement in June of 2015 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.
