      “So it never worked?”

      “No.”

      “And been a team of people in Wokeistan this whole time?”

      “Angola, but yes.”

      “And it’s been saying this woke crap becuase you’ve been paying them to? … Why?”

      “Because you’re a jackass Elon. And nobody likes you.”

    I’m not convinced she actually did anything as “CEO.” I’m sure that Elon just told her what to do/say and she made it seem like they were her ideas. There’s no way she had any ability to make any real changes or do any real work.

      Well, according to one source:

      At X, her base salary was reportedly $6 million, according to Market Realist. In addition to this, she was eligible for up to $2 million in annual performance bonuses and received $4 million in stock options spread across a three-year term.

      So if she stuck around another year she’d have gotten another ~$1.3 million in stock options. Guess she figured it wasn’t worth it.

      she was just a standin for trump, who was still the actual chairman/ceo, she is put there to take the blame for X’s criticism.

      AKA a GLASS cliff situation.

    Thoughts and prayers for the next CEO to not get Grok-blocked.

    Thankfully, Linda Yaccarino’s Golden Parachute worked perfectly fine.

        Taking the position himself would rob him of a layer of insulation from public opinion. He’ll find himself another rubber stamp, if he can find someone who’s sufficiently stupid, greedy, and/or desperate to take the job (and there always is someone). We should start a betting pool on how long that person is going to last before taking the fall for Musk.

          Why would he care? Who is going to do anything to him? Dude did Nazi salutes on stage, ain’t shit happen but offense.

          Could he just perhaps pull a reverse card and go un-crazy? Do something useful instead of just making everything worse?

          I’m not desperate, but if Musk offered me CEO money I’d do it. That amount of money to not have to do any work (just rubber stamp and tell an idiot he’s a genius)? Where do I sign up?

          It’s not like people blame Yaccarino for all the stuff that’s been happening on X.

      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.

      Huh? Richest dude on the planet did and nothing bad has happened to him. Sadly, it appears to be 100% ok to go full Hitler anymore.

      If only these people would go FULL Hitler and finish themselves off (sooner rather than later).

    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 think she had a discussion with Musk about the AI and didn’t like his answer. Escape before she is caught in the shit storm that is coming. Dunno. I don’t make enough to speculate what a CEO would do.
