The NEW CEO Of Twitter?
Linda Yaccarino, a potential new CEO for Twitter, is an executive at NBC Universal and holds a position at the World Economic Forum.
Last month, during an interview with Elon, Yaccarino encouraged him to allow advertisers to have influence on the platform.
Musk disagreed, stating that it was wrong for advertisers to try to shape Twitter's content.
Yaccarino persisted, requesting the reinstatement of an "influence council" for advertisers to regularly interact with Twitter's leadership.
Musk expressed concern that this could lead to public backlash.
Before her potential role as Twitter's CEO, Yaccarino had various positions at NBC Universal, including Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships.
While I understand everyone’s concerns after reading the above, I want to point a few important points:
- Working at WEF doesn’t immediately make you part of the ‘establishment’. Is every politician evil? Every banker greedy?
- If done right, and without influencing free speech, communication between Twitter and advertisers is a positive.
- Elon can fire a CEO if they don’t live up to his expectations
Having said all this, do you think she’s the right person for the job?
