Person hired as meat puppet mouth piece for owner continues to defend owner.

Details at 11.

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.

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...

Elon Musk fires senior Twitter employee who slept in office to meet deadlines

It's almost as if they will say anything.

Let’s be real, you’re at X because you’re on a visa and can’t leave without being kicked out of the country.

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?)

She's a pathetic weasel who gets paid handsomely to talk absolute horseshit and shill for her boss.

Same. It wouldn't make us good people worthy of respect and admiration, but it would make us rich.

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.

They always just get tossed aside at the first slip up.

... with a bonus of a few billion.

By the way, where's the clarification that Musk said he should've posted? He endorsed a white supremicist conspiracy (on accident, surely!). Called it foolish -- no, not because he endorsed Nazis, but because now his haters have more ammo. (???) Half a month has passed. It's petty, because I wouldn't believe his story even if it were airtight, but he could at least try.
