It is morally repugnant that the world's richest man is working to de-fund programs that give aid to some of the neediest people on Earth. Elon Musk's legacy will be that of a weak narcissist who, even with untold riches and power, was unhappy, unloved, unfulfilled, and unredeemable.

Unsolicited advice to conference organizers: welcome children at your events and make it as easy as possible for parents. Give them their own badges and swag. Have mother's rooms with audio feeds (if possible) Provide childcare or vet providers in advance.
