    I think this every single time I see news about that website. Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform? Insanity.

    This sketch was about Facebook but it's also relevant to Twitter

    I dont really care that the average person still uses twitter... What's INFURIATING is that gov't agencies are still using that shit. Why are important pieces of information still being shared on twitter??

    The Secretary of Defense coordinated military operations on Signal, accidentally included a reporter to the group chat (who later spilled the tea on the whole thing), and in that chat claimed they were "clean" on their opsec.

    That's what republicans do. They're dumber than a bag of wet bags.

    I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.

    Apparently it's too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.

    If the vast majority of people can't be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.

    Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It's just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.

    And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.

    Perhaps it's because I'm old, but I kinda hit a wall a few years back where I stopped giving a shit about what famous people had to say on the internet. So on that basis, the move from Twitter to Mastodon was easy for me. Less easy was leaving behind people who I liked, but life is change, and we leave people behind all the time.

    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.

    Media acting all surprised when “anti-Woke” means Hitler. That’s exactly what it means.

    In response (or so it seems) to her tweeted resignation, someone managed to get Grok to sexually harass her

    Yeah ... it's best to grab what money you can now and run ... because you won't be able to later

    She was happy to take the bag even after Musk’s nazi salutes but now runs away. I wish I could say ”better later than never’ but she was a CEO, not some random nobody working at the ”basement’. Fuck these people!

    Literally haven't heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.

    Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.

    Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.

    A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word "after" to imply a connection, when there's zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.

  • Exactly. A top executive leaving is rarely a snap decision, especially for companies that aren't publicly traded. I think the more likely explanation is that she joined under the assumption that Musk would let her handle things, and now Musk is wanting to get more involved now that his stint in DOGE is over, and she's not a fan of that. This was probably in the works for a month or two, and only announced today.

    I also have no evidence for this, other than an understanding in how executive handoffs usually happen. Given her history at X, I highly doubt Grok would be what pushes her out.

    She peaced out 3 months after 2 years. I wonder if she had shit that paid out on her anniversary.

    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.

    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.

    Twitter has been a nazi shithole since day 1 of the Musk era. At least now people cant say they didn't know anymore. If you stick there your either a nazi-bitch, or a nazi's bitch.

    Elon neuralinked into Grok AI, and mechahitler was the result.

  • [–] 18 points 1 year ago

    I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.
