Especially if you think that Nokia didn’t only make good phones, they also were the major force behind Qt toolkit. And that was in Qt3 times, when Qt was unarguably cool.
But that’s the thing. She isn’t taking the L on this. That’s my point. She seems to just be chillin’, doing fuck all. Everyone knows it’s Musk running it.
This isn’t a case where he needed to bring in a fall guy CEO for a difficult business choice. This is a case where he brought in a new CEO to literally save the corporation, and she’s doing nothing and nobody is blaming her. It’s surreal.
