She ~~took~~ practically begged for the job, no sympathy.

fuck right off with that, I’ve read her history
Indeed, I have little respect for advertisers and I disagree with her politics. But I wouldn't say I have no sympathy, and I offered a plausible explanation on why she might have taken the job.
I mean, you’re welcome to your own judgment regarding how much sympathy to have, but she chased the job knowing full well why the job needed to be filled, so I have no sympathy when she makes herself look like an idiot for Elon. She resigned from NBCUniversal the same day her Twitter position was announced. She didn’t actually need a new job, but she made a choice to take this one and all the bullshit that comes with it.
edit: it’s possible she did want a new job, but I’m certain she could have held out for something better than this.
Well, we agree that she looked terrible. Here's the evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYymRU-bfpQ
At least she lasted 1 whole minute before that embarassing contradiction. I can't do another 38 minutes of watching that mess though, too painful right from the start.
oh yeah, it’s bad, if taking a position with Musk didn’t ding her reputation, that showing certainly did.
Wasn't sure I'd listen to this whole thing but half way threw it starts to really get weird. Damn, kind of feel bad for her...it most be hell working for Elon.
There's risky, and then there's walking into a blender. This tends towards the latter.
