Elon Musk Handpicks Linda Yaccarino as Twitter’s New CEO
Elon Musk has named Linda Yaccarino as Twitter’s next chief executive officer. It seems that Elon’s announcement of his impending departure as CEO of Twitter, which he made only yesterday, has been made official today.
When Musk purchased Twitter in October of last year for $44 billion, he made it clear that he would only remain CEO for as long as necessary to implement the structural changes he saw as crucial to the company’s future success. While executing these drastic modifications, Musk complained of having “too much work” and slept at Twitter’s San Francisco offices.
Musk previewed the CEO change with a December poll asking followers if he should “step down as head of Twitter,” promising to abide by the wishes of the crowd.
Since things have gone from bad to worse at Twitter ever since Elon Musk was promoted to the position of CEO, we have high hopes that this new shift would bring about improvements there.
