Linda Yakarino is stepping down as CEO of X after 2 years in the role. Yakarino wrote in a post that she is immensely
00:00:07
grateful Elon Musk entrust her with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and
00:00:12
transforming X into an everything app. By the way, none of which happened. No reason was given for the departure, but
00:00:18
the exit has reportedly been in the works for over a week. Both Scott and I thought it was inevitable since the day
00:00:24
she took the job that she was a CEO in name only, a Sino, I guess. I think you shouldn't work for Elon Musk in this
00:00:30
regard. I mean, he's in charge the whole time. And I think one of the things about working for him is it's his
00:00:35
company at all times. They hired Don Lemon, which was a Linda Yakino effort, and you know, he was out when Elon
00:00:41
didn't like an interview. All these claims of free speech, of course, are ridiculous when they're forcing
00:00:46
advertisers to advertise there, using the threat of lawsuits, and also platforming a bunch of really heinous
00:00:51
people, and at the same time cutting people they don't like. So, this isn't exactly a free speech platform. of free
00:00:57
speech for Nazis. So, good job, Linda. Tune in on Friday to hear me and Scott's full discussion about the exit. We're
00:01:06
going to enjoy this one.
