I almost feel bad for the new "CEO". It really seems like she's doing her best to give the impression that Twitter is still a sane company with reasonable business practices, only for Elon to completely disregard her messaging and do the exact opposite.

I would feel bad if it wasn't obvious that Musk would do this. It is impossible for him to control himself. He can't help to put his dumbass opinion in the mix, no matter how much it hurts him personally and professionally. It's the reason he was forced to buy Twitter in the first place.

Drop me in her seat for 7 figures with a nice kick-out clause (no stock, please) and I’ll pretend Xitter is a wholesome, thoughtful, productive corporate citizen, too.

That too. Assuming she is getting paid and not screwed like some of Twitter's former employees, I'm sure she can cry into her pile of money.

She's doing exactly what she was hired to do.

she's a 'ceo' like the barista at starbucks is a 'manager'.

It's a shitty position to be in so I almost feel bad as well, except literally everyone knew this was going to happen when she joined. But I doubt she thought, "What's the worst that could happen? I have a bland conversation with the ADL, and Musk spends the weekend retweeting self deacribed antisemites and threatening to ban/sue the ADL?"

She is scheduled to be at the Code Conference hosted by the Verge/Vox at the end of September. I'm really interested in how she answers when asked about being undermined, especially now that the undermining has taken the form of her boss just being an outright antisemite.

"Look he's not an antisemite, he just thinks antisemitic people should have free speech, but not anyone pointing out that he thinks that"
