#nips2017 was my 1st nips in 3 years. still a dumpster fire. seriously, get your shit together. there were awesome scientific events, but my joy is dulled by sexualized events and speeches at sponsor parties & sexual assault "jokes" at closing party (and prob more i didn't see).

Just found this thread. I, of course, skipped Elon Musk's talk and so far have not heard about him saying this. Was there great science there? No? Then perhaps don't invite celebrities anymore..

No one is inviting him. The companies are holding events on their own. For some, it is all about grabbing attention and notoriety is the cheapest way to do this. Broculture, sexist jokes and toxic party culture all go in hand with that
