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.

You may not like Elon Musk but he's doing remarkably well for someone who is "clearly off the rails".

Like, financially? Sure. I don't think that was ever in dispute.

In what sense is he "off the rails" then?

My eleventh wife just gave birth to my 58th child. Musk seems perfectly normal to me /s

If I were to explore that in more detail, it would cross into armchair psychiatry, which would break my word to @dang
