$4 Billion Startup 'Corgi' Melts Down Into Real Life Social Media 'Mean Girls'
San Francisco insurance startup Corgi has found itself in the spotlight for reasons that have little to do with insurance, after controversial social media posts by employees triggered criticism, internal disagreement and questions about the company's unusual culture, according to the NY Post.
The latest controversy involved Nicole Clash, a Corgi marketing employee who came under fire for repeatedly using an ableist slur online and for a since-deleted post suggesting she would not police people who use the N-word.
The Post writes that another employee, partnerships manager Ella Schlaghecke, publicly pushed back, arguing there is a difference between opposing censorship and refusing to challenge dehumanizing language. Clash later said she deleted some posts after reconsidering them and emphasized that her comments did not represent Corgi.

Trump Social Media Firm Sues Ex-Co-Founder, Claims He Gambled Away Company Cash in Wild Slot Machine Spree
X Strategies, the Florida social media firm that powers some of President Donald Trump's most-followed social media accounts, is taking its former co-founder Derek Utley to federal court, accusing him of quietly draining at least $5 million from the company to fund a jet-set lifestyle and a staggering gambling habit, according to POLITICO.
The company filed a 34-page complaint September 18 in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach against Utley and his former girlfriend Anna Weisheimer.
