> not really sure what she thought was going to happen

Fat severance package, a post-termination book deal and international name recognition?

Probably. She's 60, I'm sure she could keep working if she wanted to, but maybe getting involved in the wildest ride in tech is a good story from which to launch your retirement career of being a media personality yourself. I'm sure she'd be perfect on Bill Maher or something. I could see it being a good compensation package too. Several millions more in the bank to salute the captain on a sinking ship, then sneak off to a lifeboat.

And name recognition too. This is the first I had ever heard of her. So, good move there.

He’s got a conspicuous habit of not paying people severance even when legally obligated to.

Yeah but her lawyers know that and he'll have to pay the severance eventually. She probably has money to wait out whatever legal delay tactics Twitter counsel would employ.

Maybe she gets a horse.

No, every girl wants a pony, not a horse.

This is presumably a reference to Musk offering to buy a SpaceX employee a horse in exchange for sexual favors.

This is libel, a vile calumny, and I won't hear it! How dare you!

It was a flight attendant he offered a horse to.

A flight attendant who was supposed to give him a massage as part of her duties. Because who doesn't expect their flight crew to be masseuses?

You must be crazy to work for Musk.

You need to Google Elon musk and horse

I learned back in the 90s you don't google horse videos without safe search on, so no, I won't be taking your suggestion ;-)

https://elon.horse has the details (I swear this is legitimate)

I took a wild gamble on this and it indeed has the details. Fairly NSFW too.

That's a surprisingly nice use for this crazy TLD.

I really liked walmart.horse too. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/19/jeph-jacq...

Not working. God bless archive

I'd do it for those reasons too. How much fun to watch the implosion from inside!
