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.

Twitter valuation dropped for two primary reasons:

1) Most tech valuations dropped about 50%-80% in between Elon's offer and Reddit formally accepting it. This was the end of the 2021 tech boom.

2) Elon being a moron and turning off brand advertisers in any way he can when direct response ads don't really work on the platform.

The owner of Twitter sieg heiled twice in front of millions of viewers. There is no need for anybody else to prove anything.

Those attacks happened way before. If you don’t see that someone is trying to build a narrative here - I’m sorry for you.

So the narrative Antifa were working so hard to build turned out to be true? Well then I guess the joke's on them for having wasted their time.
