Elon Musk’s Choice for Twitter CEO is Progressive Ideologue Linda Yaccarino

In what could be the final death knell for Twitter, Elon Musk has made yet another irrational decision, apparently based on dollars and not sense.

The shiny promise of a rebirth of free speech has been tarnished, if not dashed altogether, by the announcement of an ideologue as his replacement at the helm of the social media behemoth.

In the wake of Tucker announcing he would be taking his show to Twitter, one has to wonder just how much control a vaccine-promoting, WEF-wielding woman of Hollyweird will exert over Musk’s promise of free speech on the platform.

The announcement gave Musk’s Tesla a boost in the market, but he has lost a lot of support from progressives since taking over as Twitter CEO, and now he stands to alienate conservatives as well.

From Breitbart: Elon Musk has reportedly chosen Linda Yaccarino, a seasoned media executive, World Economic Forum chairperson, and coronavirus vaccination campaign creator, to lead Twitter hoping to bring stability to the platform that has been recently characterized by turbulence and controversy.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Elon Musk has chosen Linda Yaccarino, a seasoned advertising executive with a history at NBC Universal, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and Covid-19 vaccination campaigns, to succeed him as the CEO of Twitter.

Elon Musk announced his decision to step down as CEO of the social media platform, reportedly choosing to hand the helm to Linda Yaccarino, in a move that signifies a significant change in leadership at Twitter. Yaccarino, an advertising executive at NBC Universal, is known for leading effective media campaigns and participating in international forums on important topics.

“Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter,” Musk posted Thursday. “She will be starting in ~6 weeks!”

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!@LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology.

Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app. https://t.co/TiSJtTWuky

Yaccarino has had a remarkable amount of success during his time as chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships at NBC Universal. She oversaw strategies that led to over $100 billion in ad sales and was instrumental in the network’s streaming service Peacock’s launch. It is likely that Musk is hoping she can fix Twitter’s massive loss of advertising revenue during his tenure.

She also chaired the taskforce on the future of work at the WEF, where she contributed to discussions and policies that shaped the global employment landscape in the wake of rapid technological advancements. Although conservatives are concerned about her WEF ties, others point to her appointment by President Donald Trump to serve a two-year term on his council of Sports Fitness and Nutrition in 2018.

Her work encompasses social causes as well. Yaccarino frequently collaborated with the government, most notably when she served as the Ad Council’s chair and collaborated with organizations, the White House, and even Pope Francis to develop a coronavirus vaccination campaign.

Conservatives are already hard at work researching the potential CEO to determine how she may impact Musk’s promise of free speech on Twitter.
