    Yaccarino said she is “immensely proud to lead this company,” and told employees they should feel the same. “You’re at X because you have the courage and conviction to build and operationalize the most consequential platform that exists. That’s quite an enviable position to be in,” Yaccarino wrote.

    Meanwhile in March…

      Yep, it’s like it’s her generously compensating job compels her or something.

      Who’d have thunk it?

      (For real though, what did people expect her to say?)

        they workshopped it and found that the word had the right balance of motivation & positive vibes while conveying little meaning.

      For $6 Million a year, fuck yeah I’d consider it myself. You don’t even look bad if you fuck it up because the world’s richest fuckwit outshines every possible fuck up every step of the way.

            Yo, yo, that silly mustachioed motherfucker wasn’t the only one! That motherfucker got elected!

            So, really, it wasn’t Hitler that is to blame, it’s the people that elected him.

            (Now, I’m writing that in response to the chain of ideas where if there’s enough money involved, people would defend anyone. I would think that I’m writing this as a form of continuing the push the absurdity to the next level rather than making a serious defense would be obvious. But people are fucking idiots, so someone would take it seriously. If you were that person until you read this, fuck you lol. )

    Imagine if your job was to defend this over-privileged man-child.

    These sycophants never get the reward they dream of either. They always just get tossed aside at the first slip up.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Musk spoke about two weeks after he posted a favorable response to an antisemitic tweet, causing an advertiser backlash that added to X’s already significant financial struggles.

    “Our mission at X is bold: to be an open platform without censorship of thought—one that provides people information and the freedom to make up their own minds,” she wrote.

    “X sits in a one-of-a-kind constellation of companies that are changing the world—from helping to conserve the planet through Tesla’s electric vehicles, to exploring new planets with SpaceX, to the seamless global connectivity of Starlink, to the potential of transforming lives with Neuralink, to responsibly reimagining the benefits of AGI through xAI.”

    Yaccarino also defended Musk publicly in a post on twitter.com, writing that the X owner "offered an apology, an explanation and an explicit point of view about our position.

    On November 15, Musk replied, “You have said the actual truth” to an X post that said Jewish communities are “pushing hatred against whites.”

    At the DealBook interview, he called the post “foolish” and said, “I should in retrospect not have replied to that one person and should have written in greater length what I meant.”
