@arstechnica When she called herself "Ride or die for the company" she forgot to say that "terms and conditions might apply". One of those conditions turned out to be the 149th time sieglon tried to normalize nazi shit.

@arstechnica She wasn't going to stand for Musk tweaking Grok to post racist conspiracy theories.

...I mean, wasn't going to stand for it a second time.

@arstechnica Everyone at X should quit. It's a shit company to be associated with.

@arstechnica ""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," Yaccarino said."

Is this sarcasm, because it sure reads like the most brutally sarcastic note she could have left.
