Musk should just coat the doorhandles & chairs with tributyl tin:

Short answer to your question regarding blame?

The only time they do that is because they don’t want the burden of making the decision themselves. It’s terrible managing.

How is this a hit piece if it’s all true? The company can’t make half of the vehicles it promised at this point, and yet they’re getting rid of workers. He’s blaming the woes of his company on outside contractors when the issue is clearly much bigger.

I was once asked to vouch for a fellow employee. I didn’t feel it should fall on me to decide if someone keeps their job or not. I told the boss “he actually reminds me of you”. When he was fired a few months later the boss was mad that I’d vouched for him. I pointed out that what I said wasn’t intended to be a…

But I’m not sure that should extend to giving her professional credibility a clean bill of health. There are people far more deserving of the position of social…

This is incredibly stupid and grows stupider by the minute. The issue isn’t whether she held bigoted views. People are entitled to grow and change, provided they acknowledge their errors and strive to do better.

It’s a non-apology. She still says she doesn’t believe she wrote those old posts. Moreover, the fact that she tried to tell a really, really pathetic and unbelievable lie in order to get out of it puts her professional credibility beyond repair. Reid got forgiveness she didn’t deserve months ago. Now she’s doubled…

She had a similar line regarding Lee’s “outsized personality decorating the walls” of the control room.

No way a host would willingly use kinja.

Strange that you say “will” instead of “would.” Are you a host?

Ed Harris will destroy me.
