Linda Yaccarino News
Linda Yaccarino last week announced she is stepping down as the CEO of Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, two years after joining the firm. Yaccarino was hired by Musk to run X in 2023, after the billionaire took over the platform, then known as Twitter, in a $44 billion deal in 2022. Amidst Linda's resignation, here's looking why Twitter was rebranded as X.
Linda Yaccarino joined Twitter in June 2023, shortly after Elon Musk took over and rebranded the platform as X.
“Create. Connect. Collect all on X. We're enabling the economic success of new segments like creators,” Yaccarino posted on X late on Friday.
“As hinted in Linda's sizzle reel, X will be adding audio and video calls shortly,” Messina posted on X's rival Threads.“You will, of course, have to pay for that feature, because Skype is dead,” he added.
In total, X banned 12,82,414 accounts in the reporting period in India.
The X CEO informed that soon, “you’ll be able to make video chat calls without having to give your phone number to anyone on the platform”.
Elon Musk announced yesterday that Twitter would bid farewell to all birds and replace them with the 'X' logo. They are planning to expand Twitter from a mere microblogging site to the global town square.
In April, Musk said most of the advertisers who left had returned and that the company might become cash-flow positive in the second quarter.
The UK got the most user active seconds on Twitter at 7.2 percent, followed by Japan at 5.7 percent.
After receiving the amount, a user wrote on Twitter: "Thanks Elon Musk For Giving My Ads Share in My Paytm Account".
Commenting on the clarification, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino on Tuesday said, "When you have a mission like Twitter -- you need to make big moves to keep strengthening the platform."
"We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!" Musk said in a tweet.
Yaccarino, who started as CEO on June 5, is planning to launch full-screen, sound-on video ads that will be shown to users scrolling through Twitter's new short-video feed, the newspaper reported, citing three people familiar with the situation.
In response to a tweet suggesting that a Twitter video app is needed, Musk replied "It's coming".
Twitter's mission is crystal clear and "everyone's invited -- creators, presidential candidates, everyone in between," Yaccarino said in a tweet.
The move comes as Twitter's newly named CEO, Linda Yaccarino, an advertising veteran from NBCUniversal, is about to take the helm at the social media platform.
Yaccarino, former Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships at NBC Universal, updated her bio as Twitter CEO on LinkedIn.
Yaccarino said last month that she is prepared to build Twitter 2.0 and transform the business together with Musk and millions of platform users.
Yaccarino, who will start in six weeks in her new position, will focus primarily on business operations.
Yaccarino will take over a social media platform that has been trying to reverse a plunge in ad revenue and is beset with challenges, along with a heavy debt load.
