Elon Musk Seems To Hired Linda Yaccarino As A New Twitter CEO – Her Connections And Social Media Posts From The Past Indicate That This Will Be The End Of Free Speech On Twitter

 

 

Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced in December 2022 that he was stepping down from the role after a user poll showed 57.5 percent of respondents thought he should. On Thursday, he announced that he’s picked a successor and will hand over the reins of the company in six weeks.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Linda Yaccarino is in talks to be the new CEO of Twitter. Yaccarino is head of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal, meaning she has the experience and industry relationships necessary to persuade advertisers to come back to Twitter.

Neither Musk nor Yaccarino have confirmed the deal but Twitter doesn’t want to wait for any official statement. Multiple Twitter users pointed out Yaccarino’s proximity with WEF and raised it as a serious concern, going as far as calling her a ‘neo-liberal wokeist’.

Apart from being the chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCU, Yaccarino is the Chairman of the WEF’s Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the WEF’s Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee. This has turned out to be one of the biggest bones of contention.

Here we have just a few examples of what should we expect from the new CEO:

 

 

Given the fact that Musk publicly despises WEF/Davos gang his new CEO is a really weird choice

Musk certainly has a way of keeping his name in the news these days. It was just on Tuesday that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson dropped a bombshell video announcing that he will air his new show on Twitter. Although the show is likely to bring millions of viewers, Musk wanted to make clear that he did not sign a deal with Carlson, tweeting:

On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said.

And, of course, anything misleading will get @CommunityNotes.

I also want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators.

He also welcomed voices from the other side of the aisle, writing “I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be content creators on this platform.”

With his new CEO, his wish will come true for sure!
