"We're at one of the most maverick companies in the world and we get to do things that have never been done before," she wrote

Lol, it's a website people can write very short paragraphs on and share with other people....

Amazing how otherwise sane leaders like Yaccarino will attach themselves to people like Musk. She is going to loose any credibility she has backing him.

Her ego wrote a check she couldn't cash. She thought she could control Musk and his bullshit but she's clearly just being a babysitting janitor at best.

"X sits in a one-of-a-kind constellation of companies that are changing the world—from helping to conserve the planet through Tesla's electric vehicles, to exploring new planets with SpaceX, to the seamless global connectivity of Starlink, to the potential of transforming lives with Neuralink, to responsibly reimagining the benefits of AGI through xAI."

But you don’t work at the company doing any of those things. You work for a company that lets you post 140 characters online.

To be fair though, I've always wanted to tell Disney the same thing
