BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler
-
I can't believe people still use Twitter.
Perhaps you shouldn’t. At this point, it’s likely the majority of users are bots.

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

What do you mean non-fediverse? How does Federation affect addictiveness?
I am also addicted to the fediverse.

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.
Are you saying 90% of Americans bought a Tesla last month?

I guess for me the stench of the people are counteracting the near heroin addictiveness of the fediverse

Who is liable for the output of Grok anyway? Would Germany like to ask about now

So sad when a CEO catches the woke mind virus, thoughts and prayers!

That's easy. It's more dull here, and there's less lock-in.
No, really. Social media without the dopamine-pump-style algorithm behind it is far less stimulating. Meanwhile, the Federation model itself allows us to abandon nodes that are co-opted by bad actors. So there's always somewhere else to go with all your favorite stuff when things go sour.

She was happy to take the bag even after Musk’s nazi salutes but now runs away. I wish I could say ”better later than never’ but she was a CEO, not some random nobody working at the ”basement’. Fuck these people!

There’s still some information on certain topics, where it is the best place to find it. OSINT for example.
People who use Twitter to publish and have a large audience are reluctant to leave their followers behind. Convincing followers to go over to a new platform is not so easy. If you fear losing 70% of your followers, if you switch to Blusky, or 95% if you switch to Mastodon, then it might be risky financially.
Network effects are strong.

She peaced out 3 months after 2 years. I wonder if she had shit that paid out on her anniversary.
Well, according to one source:
At X, her base salary was reportedly $6 million, according to Market Realist. In addition to this, she was eligible for up to $2 million in annual performance bonuses and received $4 million in stock options spread across a three-year term.
So if she stuck around another year she'd have gotten another ~$1.3 million in stock options. Guess she figured it wasn't worth it.

"So it never worked?"
"No."
"And been a team of people in Wokeistan this whole time?"
"Angola, but yes."
"And it's been saying this woke crap becuase you've been paying them to? ... Why?"
"Because you're a jackass Elon. And nobody likes you."
Hey, I like him!!
J/k, he's a cunt.

If you hang out at a Nazi bar, you're a Nazi.
So all of the Americans are by your definition?

Some of them are held prisoners by Nazis.. not everyone has the ability to flee unfortunately. There are levels of resistance but I can't fault absolutely everyone there for being beaten down at this point.

she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.
Also it’s a good excuse to quit when you can’t fix the advertiser problem.

Media acting all surprised when “anti-Woke” means Hitler. That’s exactly what it means.

I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.
-

Nah, they're saying sales have only dropped by 10% from 2024, in the US. Which is fucked up.
Wonder if that's because left aligned types had already quit buying them in '24? He was already being a total fuckhead during the election at that point.
Hell of a way to squeeze a statistic.

Who's trying to flee? It's the fascists that have to go
