It’s a reference to many copypastas that parody these inspirational/feel-good viral social media posts. There’s probably an entire genre dedicated to the LinkedIn posts like this.

Typical story arc is: Today I was doing [anything] when I saw [celebrity] help a child in a [perilous situation]. Then [celebrity] helps kid and shares a profound quote of knowledge. Who was that kid? That kid grew up to be [another celebrity]. (Usually Einstein or Musk)

If you’re lucky, the story ends with everyone in the immediate area clapping and possibly donating $100 to the poor kid.
