Someone tell her that those bribes go into Musk's bank account, not Twitter's bank account.

But it's cute Yaccarino thinks Musk gives a damn about how successful Twitter is at this point. Musk is already saying he's cool with the hit Tesla will take with the EV credits ending. Elon is done with the notion of "winning" anything, he just wants to make sure everyone he hates loses.

All that money Yaccarino is seeing, that's not for her. She doesn't get to have any of the bribes. She's not in the club, she's just the patsy.

He won enough influence that people mistake him for being the new president. He won shifting a social media platform into a hard right turn.

He no longer cares about the business or the money. He's after raw power and influence now.
