      But even rich children get rare cancers for which there is no treatment yet. Maybe someone should explain that to Mr. Poopypants.

        That’s what spare children are for. It’s no coincidence that Elon started bringing his kid everywhere like baggage right after the (first) CEO shooting. You don’t get to be a billionaire by giving a shit about anyone other than yourself.
