She’s fucking nuts too.

    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 don’t think anyone finds it hard to believe, just that there could be multiple justifications… assumptions are never good, and pointing out that $6m/y is a pretty good alternative justification

          … also, it could easily be both

      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.
