Wednesday’s hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee got a little spicy as senators took turns bashing the CEOs of the biggest social media platforms. While well-deserved for the most part, it was Sen.
There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground.
No one wants to explain away the whims of a megalomaniac, and Linda Yaccarino has been having such a rough go of it. The X/Twitter CEO has reportedly dropped out of the Wall Street Journal’s upcoming Tech Live conference following a widely criticized interview less than two weeks ago.
Elon Musk and X/Twitter's CEO Can't Seem to Agree on Whether Their Election Integrity Team Is 'Gone'
At a conference on Wednesday, X CEO Linda Yaccarino contradicted Elon Musk’s claims that the platform’s election monitoring team has been eliminated. Yaccarino disputed these claims, saying the team is “growing” and will continue to monitor political misinformation on the platform.
It seems Twitter—the company now calling itself “X” based on one billionaire’s nostalgic whim—can’t escape users’ dissatisfaction with the platform, not even in its own advertising.
Twitter—the site that owner Elon Musk has desperately tried to convince users is now “X”—has a CEO, but based merely off public pronouncements, you’d still think the billionaire tech mogul is still its head.
Elon Musk announced he was changing Twitter’s name to X In the last week of July, reflecting the billionaire’s life-long obsession with the letter, which is a very normal thing for an adult man to have.
