I would love to connect with people from the community, so please let me know if you're coming to the conference.

Laid off after 1.5 years as Chief of Staff at the LF. Grateful for the growth, proud of the impact. Taking a beat to reset—and open to what’s next. If you need a strategic partner to help drive vision into action, let’s connect. #OpenToWork #ChiefOfStaff

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

At the end-of-year Dance banquet, Hayden was recognized for his dedication to dance through consistent attendance. His friends were all recognized too. What a great group of kids! 🕺🏽
