Linda Yaccarino Once Called Out Elon Musk For His Problematic Tweets

Elon Musk exhausted all means to rebuild Twitter into his vision of ‘Twitter 2.0,’ but he could not do so. Since the acquisition of the platform, Musk has been trying to transform it into a “digital town square of democracy.” However, there were many hurdles in his path, but the mammoth one was the advertisers pulling out their advertisements.

Due to the overwhelming responsibilities of managing several ventures together, Elon Musk passed Twitter’s baton to someone else. He has been searching for a new CEO for a long time. Finally, he found Linda Yaccarino fit for the job. The first interaction that the two had was when she interviewed him during a marketing event in Miami. Linda posed scathing questions to him, and one of them was about regulations and his problematic tweets.

Elon Musk may have appointed one of his critics as the CEO of Twitter. Since free speech has been an integral part of his Twitter agenda, Linda Yaccarino did not hold back from asking about it when they met for the first time. Elon and Linda met during the MMA Global Possible marketing event in Miami. Yaccarino interviewed Musk and asked many important and tough questions.

During the congregation, Elon Musk was asked about the policy on objectionable tweets. The policy is called “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach.” Twitter, through this policy, will not completely take down the tweet, but it will reduce its visibility.

So Linda asked him whether the policy applies to his tweets as well. Musk agreed that his tweets also receive the same treatment, and if there is any misinformation, Twitter will flag it with “Community Notes.” Yaccarino asked the billionaire, “Will you agree to be more specific and not tweet after 3 a.m.?”I will aspire to tweet less after 3 a.m.,” Musk replied.

Linda tweeted her vision for the platform in her first tweet since becoming CEO. She wrote, “I’ve long been inspired by [Musk’s] vision to create a brighter future. I’m excited to help bring this vision to Twitter and transform this business together!”

She continued, “I see I have some new followers… I’m not as prolific as @elonmusk (yet!), but I’m just as committed to the future of this platform. Your feedback is vital to that future. I’m here for all of it. Let’s keep the conversation going and build Twitter 2.0 together!”
