      I get that she was hired as a scapegoat. But isn’t the point of a scapegoat to make it seem like they were the one responsible?
      Musk made the tweet that caused this not her.

        Ehh, shes still the “adult in the room,” which is to say she was hired to rein in the idiot so all the advertisers could make money. She is the scapegoat because she could not do the impossible that she promised would be done.

        Its more complicated than normal, but still the same role.

      I mean, most people are stupid. They use scapegoats because most of the time they fucking work. I hate it but it’s true.
