**Microsoft Employee Fired for Disrupting CEO’s Speech in Protest of AI Use for Israeli Military: “I Just Wanted to Make a Point!”**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the tech world buzzing like a malfunctioning Windows update, a Microsoft employee was fired for interrupting CEO Satya Nadella’s speech at a recent company event. The employee, who identified himself as “Dave from Accounting” (but we suspect his real name is actually “Dave from the Break Room”), took to the stage with a homemade sign reading, “AI Shouldn’t Be a Weapon, It Should Be a Really Smart Toaster!”
Witnesses report that Dave burst onto the stage mid-sentence, shouting, “You can’t spell ‘Microsoft’ without ‘soft’—and that’s how we should keep our AI!” Nadella, visibly taken aback, responded, “I appreciate your passion, but we’re not actually using AI to make toast… yet.”
In an exclusive interview with our undercover reporter, Dave explained his motives: “I just wanted to raise awareness! I mean, if AI can beat me at chess, it should at least help me find a decent bagel shop!” He added, “I thought I was being very civil. I even wore my best Hawaiian shirt!”
Microsoft’s HR department released a statement saying, “While we value creativity and passion, we do not condone interrupting the CEO’s speech. We prefer our disruptions to be limited to system updates and the occasional ‘blue screen of death.’”
As for Dave, he’s currently seeking employment elsewhere, claiming he’s “the next big thing in protest performance art.” His first gig? A one-man show titled “AI: The Toast of the Town.” Tickets are selling fast—mostly to confused techies who thought it was a seminar on kitchen appliances.
