According to the article, Musk is the ideas guy and it’s her job to implement them. So when Twitter fails, he’ll say the ideas were great, it was an execution problem.
She probably figures at her next job interview she’ll say it was a no win situation, but at least she accomplished (something).
Also, “research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get” -Wikipedia
She’s the one who will take the blame.

A fair-minded article. This sounded off though:
a big attraction of Reddit—that its main page is a kind of greatest hits of an enormous community.
No, r/all was the lowest common denominator, full of karmafarming, ragebait, and reposts. Every time I looked at r/all I regretted it, so I mostly stuck to subreddits.
There was an article in Foreign Policy a couple days ago talking about how China’s WeChat is the only real Everything App, but it was a product of a very specific time and place.

The conclusion is that there’s not likely to be another Everything App. I’m still thinking that over, but it sounds plausible.
OpenAI scraped the Internet, legally and illegally to power ChatGPT.
I’m not a huge OpenAI fan, but it’s not yet been determined that they acted illegally. I believe the matter is still being pursued in court.
It’s telling that most of their problems were regulatory/legal rather than technical. (they only have one bullet point about “a bunch of techy stuff”.)
But the whole article has a very strong “how do you do, fellow kids?” vibe. I think the fediverse will manage to survive without the Financial Times’ mastodon server.

What?! You mean he already gave up on NFTs?
