Twitter CEO’s Internal Email About Elon Musk’s Bizarre Interview Leaks - "He shared an unmatched and completely unvarnished perspective and vision for the future."
"Our principles do not have a price tag, nor will they be compromised — ever," her note continued. "And no matter how hard they try, we will not be distracted by sideline critics who don’t understand our mission."
"You couldn't pay us to stop hating on minorities. It's a part of our mission."
This was an internal memo, not one for the public to see. She could easily have reassured the staff that Musk's words wouldn't hurt the company, but instead she praised him for what he said. She used to be a Trump appointee. She loves Elon and his crazy ideas.
Just because it is internal does not mean she will drop the cheerleading facade. I have worked in large corps and this is totally on brand for the bullshit that gets passed around as staff motivation/ justification for batshit management decisions.
Quite simply we will never know if she actually believes this shit as we are not part of the in group.
Yes but this internal memo was "leaked" - I have a hunch she leaked it herself, possibly to ensure that she remains in Musk's good graces. Or to show future employers how loyal she can be and how readily/deftly she can spin. I.e., it's an advertisement for herself.
I'm halfways with you for the first like...few million, but after you're already rich, do you really want to be jerking off Elon Musk every day for a living?
please take the time to absorb the magnitude and importance of what we’re all a part of
What that then? A fairly uninteresting and underperforming social media platform that hasn’t grown in years and is now falling apart. Woo, such importance.
The employees should be proud to work for a loony right-winger? That's a bit of a "magnitude" I would no longer share if I was working there. For me, those still-employees have lost any remaining respect.
That's fairly low for software engineers in California. Companies like Google and Facebook pay 2-4x plus (I'd imagine Twitter does too, and that's just a straight average for all employees including cleaning staff etc). Glassdoor says software engineer salaries range from 200-280k a year.
Toxic environments and uncertainty take their toll. I wouldn't want to have a boss as impulsive as Elron, and at this point I'd feel like Twitter wouldn't look great on a resume. The tech jobs market isn't easy lately, though, after the pandemic/zero interest loan period ended and mass layoffs came into fashion (partly due to Elron's example).
This paean to Kim Jong UnApartheid Edgelord is something anybody working in North Koreaat Xhitter should start seriously carefully considering, deciding which side of history they want to stand on.
Apartheid Edgelord's performance in that interview was absolutely "an unmatched and completely unvarnished perspective and vision for the future". In that literally nobody else in history looked as much a total fucking jackass as Xhitter's de-facto CEO in such a short amount of time. Between his constantly turning to the audience, clearly seeking approval of random strangers and his constant claims that he doesn't care about popularity, Apartheid Edgelord is an abject embarrassment.
I'm so tempted to disable my AdBlock on X and write all those companies, with screenshot of illegal activities, on what they are advertising at. All to speed up this whole Musk exodus process.
People got tired of fawning posts about Elon Musk appearing all over social media including random subs on Reddit and Lemmy. The counterpoint was “enough Musk spam” as in “stop spamming every sub with pro-musk propaganda we are sick of seeing this bullshit”.
