In December 2022, eccentric billionaire and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, Elon Musk, tweeted that he would step down as CEO of the blogging platform as soon as he found someone stupid enough to undertake this job. He also said that he will only run the software and server team.
I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone stupid enough to take this job! After that, I will just run the software and server team.

Musk’s tweet came after he lost a poll he posted on Twitter asking users whether he should step down as head of the company. The poll ended with 57.5% of the 17.5 million respondents voting “yes” that Musk should step down as CEO.
It seems that after more than 5 months of searching, Musk has finally found his replacement in the form of CEO of the blogging platform – Linda Yaccarino.
Who is Linda Yaccarino?
Linda Yaccarino is President of Global Advertising and Partnerships at NBCUniversal. She is one of the most successful advertising sales executives in the world and is credited with helping transform the advertising business.

She is also responsible for the brand’s global partnerships, including agreements with major brands such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble.
According to Yaccarino’s official profile on NBCUniversal, she and her team of 2,000 are responsible for connecting emerging and established brands to hundreds of millions of viewers, while driving economic impact across every sector. Since joining NBCU in 2011, her team has generated more than $100 billion in advertising revenue, expanded the company’s reach globally, launched an ad-supported streaming service first and invest heavily in data and technical capabilities. She was the first advertising executive to develop a technology-enabled unified trading system, One Platform, and create a unified business and monetization strategy.

Excited to announce that I have hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will start in ~6 weeks!
