    I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.

    Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.

      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.

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

        Scapegoat? Is anyone actually blaming her for the Hitler shit? I have my beliefs about where those orders came from.

      You work for two years and extract enough money to last multiple lifetimes for you and your children. Then when you work up the courage to quit you put out this absolute tripe of a statement to show other billionaires you’re a good little capitalist soldier. “Give me more millions, I’m a soulless greedy fuck like you and nothing is ever enough.”

        Shitting on your boss publicly when you’re a public figure sends a signal that you might shit on your future bosses.

        Despite your claim that she never needs to work again, she might still want too, just for a non-nazi aligned company.

          Taking this job in the first place should disqualify her from any position of authority at any company operating with a shred of morality. Actually disavowing the horrible shit should in fact be her only chance at a modicum of redemption and future employment.
