The former Twitter exec who went viral for sleeping on the office floor said she had no choice but to do so because of Elon Musk's 'nearly impossible deadline'

"The real story is pretty simple," she said in the video."I was given a nearly impossible deadline for his first project, and as the product lead, I would never ask anyone to do anything I wasn't willing to do myself.

"I worked round the clock alongside an amazing team spanning many timezones, and we delivered it on schedule — truly against the odds. It was intense but also fun," she said.Crawford continued:"I was attacked by people on the left and called a billionaire bootlicker while simultaneously being attacked by people on the right for being a working mom who was demonized as an example of a woman choosing her career over her family.

"Thankfully I can laugh at myself and I don't take armchair keyboard ideologues too seriously. Being the main character on the timeline, even for a few minutes, requires a thick skin and a strong sense of self," she added. As well as making major changes to Twitter's app and website — such as reinstating some banned accounts, charging users for blue checks, and introducing a subscription feature — Musk began changing the internal workings of the company as soon as his acquisition went through.
