I know those who are very successful in corporate or politics have no discernible skills aside from a very good gift at bullshitting, but it always blows my mind that they often don't even have good bullshitting skills. Like this lady was at the top of her game before joining Twitter and she's terrible at basic presentation of the brand or herself. It's crazy.
When Linda came over, she brought over Joe Benarroch, a PR rep also with NBCU who spent the last few years propping her up and shoehorning her into a public-facing role. He went as far as to hire an external PR firm for her to write presentations and even internal memos. Others at NBCU weren't entriely thrilled with them. Here's a link to an article about him and Linda: https://www.semafor.com/article/07/16/2023/behind-twitters-poop-emoji-pr

So that stuff might be all well and good when you're at NBCU and you're doing softball press and the only people that actually know about you are other industry heads, but not with this very public 5-alarm fire swirling on around you and you're still relatively new to being in this type of role. Your first major TV interview as CEO is you just contorting yourself to defend just simply indefensible decisions for a guy who literally said just days ago that your position is a joke.

I'm not giving her a single shred of the benefit of the doubt because she knew who she was aligning with and she gets paid for it, but that CNBC interview was a person who isn't exactly all-in with this. I don't know.

Yeah. Elon thinks the cae having its own simcard and OS will replace the Android Auto and Apple Carplay in useability.

To some extent it is true, as the onboard system is decent. However it is still a common complaint from users and it has significantly simplified car radio design to outsource that poo poo to the cellphones.

Plus, most people really like Android Auto and Apple Carplay. it’s not a barrier that is supposed to be solved, it’s the feature they want.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

at my first startup job i mentioned to my supervisor in a one-on-one meeting that it was one thing to ask us to spend ten hour days at the office, but i really didn't appreciate dealing with the nerf gun wars that people wanted to have starting at 6 or 7

two months later i got fired for "being too negative" lmao owned
