...ex-CEO.
If she was trying to protect her reputation, that's a bit late. Nothing left to protect.
Feel like she’s more interested in protecting her future earning potential. She wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place if she cared about her reputation, imo.
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.
Thats one of the big problems with working at one of musks companies
What took her so long?
Literally haven't heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.
Thats because all of the heinously stupid things were done by the previous CEO.
she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.
X Pretend CEO Linda Yaccarino
Yaccity Yacc, don't come back...
Thoughts and prayers for the next CEO to not get Grok-blocked.
Thankfully, Linda Yaccarino’s Golden Parachute worked perfectly fine.
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 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.
I thought she was already a rubber stamp
She was a DEI hire anyway, right folks?
Is it still a DEI hire if it's also a glass cliff?
lol well it went longer than I thought it would.
I can't believe people still use Twitter.
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.
For me, it's the best place for quick sports updates. Many writers have moved to bluesky, but many more have not. Sports Twitter is the sole reason I use it.
I feel like the common use cases are:
Lots of Nazis around these days. That's why.
Lotsa Nazis out there.
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??
Don't be surprised that fascists use the fascist megaphone.
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.
Not just signal, a home brew spy version from a foreign government.
they would never do such a thing. not after calling out hillary clinton for using private email servers.
People just don't want to quit because the alternatives aren't populated enough.... Which is caused by people not leaving. Twitter is to many a necessity for their business, just like many softwares provided by scum companies.
bluesky is populated "enough".
I do think that bluesky has a ton of momentum right now and is a viable alternative. But the thing about microblogging sites is that if the specific people you want to follow aren't on them, there's not really a substitute. I know I've heard people say that, for example, a lot of japanese game developers are still primarily on twitter (I've never been a twitter/bsky enjoyer so I can't speak to it personally).
people are always resistant to changing habits
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.
Unfortunately I think people don’t care how the sausage is made. It has porn and ~~racist~~ edgy memes so they’ll keep coming back.
People use it for the same reason they use Truth Social.
This sketch was about Facebook but it's also relevant to Twitter
That was painful.
Actually more relevant now, considering the ending
"Go to the site where Nazi's scream at you". It's talking about moving from facebook to twitter.
Well the punchline to that sketch is "instead of FB, just do what I do: Go to the site where nazis scream at you!" just might be that twitter reference you said was missing.
She peaced out 3 months after 2 years. I wonder if she had shit that paid out on her anniversary.
Yeah ... it's best to grab what money you can now and run ... because you won't be able to later
