    "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.

        Some of them are held prisoners by Nazis… not everyone has the ability to flee unfortunately. There are levels of resistance but I can’t fault absolutely everyone there for being beaten down at this point.

            It’s the fascists who SHOULD go, but that’s not often how it works in reality. And LOTS of people are trying to flee. Not everyone can or should fight. It’s going to be a long and hard, but necessary, road to fascists being held to account.

              I just mean that trying to apply the Nazi bar meme to an entire country because people are not immediately surrendering and fleeing the fascists seems kind of counter productive.

                I agree with you and think the same can be said about companies, very few people have the luxury of being able to quit their job at will(though the CEO in OP definitely has). Therefore in my opinion the nazi bar meme while sounds cool is not suitable for most of the situations it is used in.

        The Nazi looked up to the US. They loved how we slaughtered the Native Americans and based their Holocaust on our policies. Wealthy people from the US were integral to funding the Nazi party.

        You do the math.

    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.

    Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.

      You work for two years and extract enough money to last multiple lifetimes for you and your children. Then when you work up the courage to quit you put out this absolute tripe of a statement to show other billionaires you’re a good little capitalist soldier. “Give me more millions, I’m a soulless greedy fuck like you and nothing is ever enough.”

        Shitting on your boss publicly when you’re a public figure sends a signal that you might shit on your future bosses.

        Despite your claim that she never needs to work again, she might still want too, just for a non-nazi aligned company.

      “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 honestly think Musk will reserve the CEO position for himself. He’s getting more and more power hungry lately. There’s no way he’s gonna share it with someone. And even if he does does appoint a CEO they will just be a rubber stamp.

        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.

      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.

      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 hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.

        Also it’s a good excuse to quit when you can’t fix the advertiser problem.
