The future looked bright despite the rain on Tuesday evening at the Museum of Modern Art, where guests including Elon Musk and Seth Meyers gathered for a screening of a new PBS documentary series, A Brief History of the Future. <\/p>\n
Mr. Musk, flanked by security, came with a preschooler in tow, his 3-year-old son, X A-12, who is better known simply as X. (Same as Mr. Musks social media platform.) <\/p>\n
