I know how stupid that sounds. I'm not making it up. It sounds like something a life coach from a cut scene in Idiocracy would say.

Is this a Mondegreen from the Young Guns soundtrack by Bon Jovi? I can literally imagine Musk announcing to his sychophantic followers that he wants to use the slogan and then demanding it be played really loud in the boardroom while Elon Musk sings "SHOT douuuuuuwn in a blaze your glory!" while his minions look on and say, "Yes sir! That is a very good slogan, sir!"

I've been of the opinion for at least the last few weeks that Yaccarino sees this gig as her pension fund and is acting accordingly; doing enough plamásing to keep the boss happy and nothing else.

That's great, until she starts getting named in the lawsuits and her pension fund is eaten by the lawyers fees.

Lol executives don't get held accountable in this country, and pensions really aren't that common anymore. If she has any sense she's taking her compensation in something that isn't Twitter stock. If she has a 401k it's almost certainly secure against any litigation against the company.

Its protected against almost anything, except owing back taxes, or child support.

In facts its an oft-forgotten benefit of contributing to a 401k.

Isn't a blaze of glory something you go out in?

The first thing that came into my head was

In his latest bout of stupidity (so far). MuskX has sued a number of researchers at the nonprofit Centre for Countering Digital Hate who were monitoring hate speech on TwitX. Idiot boy has alleged that their work (which exposed the enormous increase in hate speech on the platform) cost the company millions of dollars of advertising revenue.
MuskX also alleges that the organisation is funded by foreign governments and media companies who view TwitX as competition. Of course no evidence for these claims is provided.

Probably a MuskX tantrum over having to take tien his giant X.

Could easily be lawfare, no idea if this org has deep enough pockets to successfully fight off this lawsuit, even if it seems overwhelmingly likely that they would win.

Have to wonder if Twitter really wants to open themselves up to discovery specifically on their recent policy changes regarding right wing hate content on the site. It's quite obvious that they have, either through lack of resources to police or as a deliberate policy, made Twitter a more welcoming place for open bigotry of various sorts. Having this explored in detail in public is probably not good for their reputation.
