This was an internal memo, not one for the public to see. She could easily have reassured the staff that Musk’s words wouldn’t hurt the company, but instead she praised him for what he said. She used to be a Trump appointee. She loves Elon and his crazy ideas.
Just because it is internal does not mean she will drop the cheerleading facade. I have worked in large corps and this is totally on brand for the bullshit that gets passed around as staff motivation/ justification for batshit management decisions.
Quite simply we will never know if she actually believes this shit as we are not part of the in group.
I read the article and I think the argument is fine. They play up not knowing why she’s supporting Musk, but six million dollars is six million dollars.
So you think she was being paid peanuts at NBCUniversal and left to join a sinking ship in the hopes of making more money? That doesn’t seem especially rational of someone. But it makes a lot more sense if instead, they worship Musk and think he’s changing the world.
I’ve worked with big companies during big mergers. The higher ups don’t see a sinking ship. They see money and opportunity, regardless of how far from reality that really is. Maybe you and I consider that irrational, but with these people, most of their actions are not driven by rationale.
I guess, but as the article says, even her colleagues are begging her to leave Twitter and she isn’t listening. I don’t know why people find it so hard to believe that she’s yet another Musk sycophant. Especially since she’s MAGA.
I forget where I found it but there was a long article about her backstory, with interviews from her old colleagues at NBCU, where they made it very clear one of her own major personal goals was to be a CEO of some company, and in general she just thirsts after power and status. In addition she was painted as very spicy/short fused with her employees.
Yes but this internal memo was “leaked” - I have a hunch she leaked it herself, possibly to ensure that she remains in Musk’s good graces. Or to show future employers how loyal she can be and how readily/deftly she can spin. I.e., it’s an advertisement for herself.

Makes sense to me… she’s a marketing executive. Her bread and butter and life’s work is bullshitting people.
The article really seems to go against what you’re saying.
The person writing the article is not part of the in group either…
That’s a really poor argument considering the article’s contents. I’m starting to think you didn’t actually read it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she wrote this with the potential (or more likely, certainty) of a leak on mind.
Let’s see if her next gig is on Dancing With The Stars after Twitter finishes its crash and burn.
