Scapegoat. She’s just Elon’s puppet anyway, and he’d replace her with another puppet. The problem is the owner.
To be clear, she (and lots of other employees) should resign on principle, but not because it would change things at twitter for the better.
Aren’t most of the people left who do actual work at Twitter in the US on work visas? The conditions for them to stay in the country make quitting on principle extremely difficult.
It’s been a year or so. Even in a weaker hiring landscape, software/data/systems engineers are still in high demand. They would have likely been able to leave by now.
At this point it’s likely true believers, right wingers, billionaire bootlickers and people playing a “twitter will rise again” angle.
If mass resignations made it impossible to function and/or forces him to sell, that could make it better.
All the people with H1-B visas that work at Twitter won’t resign because they don’t want to get deported. Musk knows it too.
They’ve had a year to find new employment if they wanted to. While having an H1B may make it more difficult to find a new job, it in no way requires them to remain employed at X/twitter.
Fair point, but I tend to agree with IphtashuFitz on this.
It’s stock value would crash even lower, which would in some ways be changing things for the better
There is no more stock though. It’s a private company.
There are still valuations even if they don’t sell publicly, and those still affect how much they can get in credit, investment, and advertising
