"We could be in serious legal trouble."

"Don't worry. My billions will protect me."

Exactly. A top executive leaving is rarely a snap decision, especially for companies that aren't publicly traded. I think the more likely explanation is that she joined under the assumption that Musk would let her handle things, and now Musk is wanting to get more involved now that his stint in DOGE is over, and she's not a fan of that. This was probably in the works for a month or two, and only announced today.

I also have no evidence for this, other than an understanding in how executive handoffs usually happen. Given her history at X, I highly doubt Grok would be what pushes her out.

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.

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??

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.

That's kinda fucked up

At this point it's the twitter user doing the sexual harassment right? Because they know how grok is going to respond to something like that

No it doesn't. Sometimes it means Stalin.

Real translation: thanks for the paycheck. Remember me when you need another yes person to be your scapegoat.

There's no way that Elon let her have any actual autonomy to make decisions for the company. I'm not even convinced Elon didn't just tell her to say that.

Also, assuming those are her own words, she didn't say that she did any of those things, just that she had the "responsibility" to do so. If that was really her responsibility, she epically failed at it.

the Everything App

the sheer hubris…

I hear it's on the 2 year anniversary, meaning she probably waited for some stocks to vest or something like that. It also means her mind was made up before, but that she wanted to maximize her payout because it's never enough for these people. I hate CEOs.

she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.

Or this is the fall she was brought in for...
