Elon neuralinked into Grok AI, and mechahitler was the result.
A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word “after” to imply a connection, when there’s zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.
Exactly. A top executive leaving is rarely a snap decision, especially for companies that aren’t publicly traded. I think the more likely explanation is that she joined under the assumption that Musk would let her handle things, and now Musk is wanting to get more involved now that his stint in DOGE is over, and she’s not a fan of that. This was probably in the works for a month or two, and only announced today.
I also have no evidence for this, other than an understanding in how executive handoffs usually happen. Given her history at X, I highly doubt Grok would be what pushes her out.
In response (or so it seems) to her tweeted resignation, someone managed to get Grok to sexually harass her
At this point it’s the twitter user doing the sexual harassment right? Because they know how grok is going to respond to something like that
Actually, all AIs have guards in place to prevent that kind of abuse… anyone who has tried to make ChatGPT say lewd things has figured that out a long time ago. It’s more than likely one of Elon’s tweaks lifted some of those restrictions.
Yeah and this twitter user knew that elon had lifted those restrictions so they knew grok would act this way
I’m not saying elons blameless, I’m just saying this twitter user deserves some blame too
I mean, that’s shitty, but there’s no way in hell it’s the worst thing she’s had tweeted to or about her during her tenure. If all the insanity spewing from Grok and X users up to now didn’t phase her, I’m guessing she’s not bothered by this either.
(Not to say she or any other women deserves to be talked to or about like this. But by now people working at or using X know what they’re involved with and have made a choice to be there, so they must be okay with it at some level.)
just fyi, it’s faze when you mean disturb.
Oh lol cool TIL thanks
I think she had a discussion with Musk about the AI and didn’t like his answer. Escape before she is caught in the shit storm that is coming. Dunno. I don’t make enough to speculate what a CEO would do.
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!
I hear it’s on the 2 year anniversary, meaning she probably waited for some stocks to vest or something like that. It also means her mind was made up before, but that she wanted to maximize her payout because it’s never enough for these people. I hate CEOs.
100% agree.
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.
Scapegoat? Is anyone actually blaming her for the Hitler shit? I have my beliefs about where those orders came from.
the Everything App
the sheer hubris…
It should be called the Nazi App->#DeleteTwitter
If you hang out at a Nazi bar, you’re a Nazi.
So all of the Americans are by your definition?
The Nazi looked up to the US. They loved how we slaughtered the Native Americans and based their Holocaust on our policies. Wealthy people from the US were integral to funding the Nazi party.
You do the math.
Yeah … it’s best to grab what money you can now and run … because you won’t be able to later
Literally haven’t heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.
she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.
Thats because all of the heinously stupid things were done by the previous CEO.
Thoughts and prayers for the next CEO to not get Grok-blocked.
Thankfully, Linda Yaccarino’s Golden Parachute worked perfectly fine.
She peaced out 3 months after 2 years. I wonder if she had shit that paid out on her anniversary.
I would imagine she knew full well trying to be the CEO of X/Twitter with Musk so heavily involved was going to be a losing venture as far as her own goals from the jump. But she took the job for the huge pay day and being able to have “CEO” in her list of previous positions on her resume.
I like the theory of the CV, but that thing is a shit stain rather than a valuable experience
Respectfully, this is not how it works up at that level of the machine.

…
Ahem.

Yaccitey-Yacc, Don’t Talk Back.

Twitter has been a nazi shithole since day 1 of the Musk era. At least now people cant say they didn’t know anymore. If you stick there your either a nazi-bitch, or a nazi’s bitch.
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.
