The new CEO will be handling business operations at Twitter and will be bill with turn around the fortunes of the social internet that has struggled to turn a profits even since an incredible number of layoff following Musk ’s purchase of the political platform .
In a tweet announcing his pick , Musk wrote : “ I am mad to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the young CEO of Twitter!@LindaYaccwill focus primarily on commercial enterprise operations , while I focalise on product design & Modern technology .

While Yaccarino will be in charge of the business organisation side of thing , Musk will still be handling everything that ’s made Twitter such a tumultuous place to live in the last few months .
As CTO superintend the apps , we ’re still likely to see plenty of spur of the moment changes have-to doe with to the way the chopine behaves , the relationships with third - party sites , the vaunted blue tick , strange breakages , and the regular security department and privacy scares that have dominated his reign thus far .
It ’s also extremely likely , with Musk as legal age possessor and executive chairman of the Twitter board , that Yaccarino will report directly to him . That ’s not the usual club of thing . commonly at major technical school companies the CTO reports to the chief executive officer .
I will step down as CEO as before long as I chance someone foolish enough to take the job ! After that , I will just execute the software package & server teams .
Musk is maltreat down as ‘ Chief Twit ’ after asking Twitter users whether he should , in a crown late last class . Considering Musk has pass much of his time in charge of Twitter extolling the virtues of the program as a piazza for gratuitous speech and a dick for enhancing commonwealth , it was respectable to see him move in the interest of those economic value .
Of naturally , this week Twitter strike a great deal with former Fox News shock athlete and conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson to bring his show to Twitter in the near future . Carlson was implemental in spreading baseless confederacy theories about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States .
Perhaps the dumpster fire is just getting started ?
