The former director of Twitter’s machine ethics team had some choice words about Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency onstage at SXSW on Thursday.
“When your funding is frozen and you don’t know if you’re gonna be fired, and there’s this, like, absolutely unhinged person saying weird things on the internet constantly, you still have to do your job, right?” Chowdhury said. “The lights have to be kept on because Elon Musk is not the one keeping the lights on, even though he would like you to think that.”
Chowdhury said she fears the brain drain resulting from the dramatic reductions and chaotic management style.
