confirmed Friday that Linda Yaccarino, who just resigned as NBCUniversal’s global advertising chief, will be taking over as Twitter’s new CEO sometime in June.
The announcement wasn’t a shock—rumors had been swirling since Thursday afternoon that Musk was calling on Yaccarino to right the flailing social media giant, which has been draining money with Musk at the helm. Musk said Thursday he’ll still handle “product design” and “new technology,” while Yaccarino will “focus primarily on business operations.”
The billionaire also teased that Yaccarino will lead Twitter as it rebrands to being “X,” which Musk claims will be the “everything app.”
