Instead, Musk arrived cradling a small stuffed monkey cradling a small bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin. Musk said the monkey was named “Harambe,” after the gorilla that was shot and killed after he grabbed and dragged a three-year-old boy who had slipped into the enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. He set Harambe on the table and left him there for the entire meeting, even addressing the stuffed animal now and then. Musk seemed to think this was hysterical. Sulzberger, the polar opposite of Musk, did not seem to notice.
