Elon Musk just announced via tweet that Linda Yaccarino is Twitter's new CEO. RW fanbois NOT happy.

As I predicted in another thread about her.

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!

@LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology.

Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.

Some of the responses:

Hard to understand this move


Yeah, we skeptical.... VERY Skeptical.. You should know why.. Don't let us down.


Can you address any concerns around her role in the WEF?


I think I speak for many when I say the reason I pay $8 a month is so that you wouldn’t choose someone like that to run Twitter. Great job.

1. Mike Lindel wasn't available?

4. He hired her for reasons he knows. Maybe he didn't want Mike or he turned it down.

The decision has been made. Not 100 percent will be happy but nothing is. That’s the bottom line. He chose her and nobody else no matter who you, me or anyone else wanted. Suggesting names really doesn’t do much.

8. lol

i think the mike lindell "suggestion" was sarcasm.

Of course Elon can do what he wants, as he's been doing since he bought the thing. (And I suspect what he wants is to not lose 44 billion dollars... even if priority 2 is shitposting.)

11. Gee, should we genuflect before him?

[jimfields33]

12. Why not? Decisions probably aren't easy. He made it. It's done!!!!!!!!!

[tazkcmo]

14. Why not?

Because he's an asshole.

2. They shouldn't be - she tends to lean conservative.

Perhaps the incels are upset because she's a woman?

6. That's part of it, as I said in that other thread.

They don't trust her, either, because of WEF and NBC.

And they don't want any discouragement of crazy, outrageous tweets - especially Elon's - even if it's necessary to please advertisers.

15. Yep. The WEF is at the center of a lot of the conspiracy theories of most of the groups...

...who constitute Elon's fans: incels, the alt-right, etc. They're probably not too happy about his choice for the new Twitter CEO.

You'll find the WEF--and Klaus Schwab (its founder) in particular--in many of their dumbest memes. Just Google "eat the bugs", "live in a pod", and "you will own nothing and be happy". Don't say I didn't warn you, though.

3. Wonder how long she'll last!

[dembotoz]

5. She is here to make it advertisers friendly.

Isn't the purpose of the twitter product to make money via advertising?????

I mean it IS a business.

[Johonny]

10. They thought Musk bought the company

To bring freedom and not make money. They also think Trump is in politics to help the little guy. Some people are born suckers.

7. Linda Yaccarino as the new CSG (Chief Scapegoat)!

[MineralMan]

9. To the guy whining about his $8 per month:

Who cares? I guarantee Elon Musk does not.

13. LOL

The thought Musk was in it to do them a favor and not make $$$$$
