  I would imagine she knew full well trying to be the CEO of X/Twitter with Musk so heavily involved was going to be a losing venture as far as her own goals from the jump. But she took the job for the huge pay day and being able to have “CEO” in her list of previous positions on her resume.

    I like the theory of the CV, but that thing is a shit stain rather than a valuable experience

      Respectfully, this is not how it works up at that level of the machine.

  "I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.”

  But it isn’t the everything app. Oh, wait? Is it? Am I using it for everything?! No. I don’t use it for anything and neither should you.

    And she didn’t protect free speech. And she didn’t turn the company around (unless you count the Hitler stuff). So she’s taking credit for the Hitler stuff? Because the tone of her statement seems to be, “We did it!!!” Maybe she thinks she’s going out on top after her greatest achievement? Much more likely than, “oh noooes we r the bad guyz!?” from the fucking CEO.

  If she was trying to protect her reputation, that’s a bit late. Nothing left to protect.

    Feel like she’s more interested in protecting her future earning potential. She wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place if she cared about her reputation, imo.

  Holy shit.

  It is a Mechanical Turk. Although I guess it’s a Mechanical Greek now.

  I find it much more shocking he’s got a woman running it.

    I’m surprised he didn’t have a baby with her.

      That is also a possible reason for leaving.

  He’s going off the rails with drugs. Maybe they should delete his job.
