Endorsing someone will get you a job later on. Funny how that works. It’s called Quid Pro Quo, bruh!
Will she have to spend any time there? I hope it’s most of the time. She was almost as good as Elon Musk at hyping the company stock while doing mostly nothing else. Her only success was in buying Paypal after her own version of managed payments failed. BTW, that is where Elon Musk got the money to keep Tesla afloat, as he was still a big shareholder in Paypal when ebay bought it, even though he had been fired already. He was not the founder of Tesla, not even close.
