One time they let her speak publicly it turned out to be a disaster. She never had any say and worst part is she was not even a good fall guy, it was clear who’s pulling the strings. The most immaterial and inconsequential hire ever.

I love all the replies on Twitter thanking her but during her time the valuation dropped 80% and they were suing advertisers for not advertising. Remarkably inept.

It's weird that you say both she had no material power and also seem to imply the valuation drop and lawsuits were due to her ineptitude?

Anyway she volunteered to be a puppet for a man who is clearly off the rails and her legacy will forever be stained.

Where can I sell my legacy for $6 million/year?

My question is where does she go from here?

Like if she became my CEO, I'd really worry about my company/job.

To some other founder/acquirer that wants to maintain control while putting somebody else in the seat.

You're acting like Elon is uniquely stupid.

Elon's level of stupid feels unique at first glance but then if you look at how many people elected the current president...well.

Which given the nature of democracy are many of the same as the people who elected the last one and the one before, etc. Are we not all snowflake-unique kinds of stupid?

My point of gratitude for today is that my level of stupid is not nearly as consequential to others as some folks'.

Ooh, a new life goal that I've already achieved, thanks!
