Linda Yakarino is stepping down as CEO
00:00:02
of X after 2 years in the role. Yakarino
00:00:05
wrote in a post that she is immensely
00:00:07
grateful Elon Musk entrust her with the
00:00:09
responsibility of protecting free
00:00:11
speech, turning the company around, and
00:00:12
transforming X into an everything app.
00:00:15
By the way, none of which happened. No
00:00:16
reason was given for the departure, but
00:00:18
the exit has reportedly been in the
00:00:19
works for over a week. Both Scott and I
00:00:22
thought it was inevitable since the day
00:00:24
she took the job that she was a CEO in
00:00:26
name only, a Sino, I guess. I think you
00:00:28
shouldn't work for Elon Musk in this
00:00:30
regard. I mean, he's in charge the whole
00:00:31
time. And I think one of the things
00:00:33
about working for him is it's his
00:00:35
company at all times. They hired Don
00:00:37
Lemon, which was a Linda Yakino effort,
00:00:40
and you know, he was out when Elon
00:00:41
didn't like an interview. All these
00:00:43
claims of free speech, of course, are
00:00:44
ridiculous when they're forcing
00:00:46
advertisers to advertise there, using
00:00:47
the threat of lawsuits, and also
00:00:50
platforming a bunch of really heinous
00:00:51
people, and at the same time cutting
00:00:53
people they don't like. So, this isn't
00:00:55
exactly a free speech platform. of free
00:00:57
speech for Nazis. So, good job, Linda.
00:01:00
Tune in on Friday to hear me and Scott's
00:01:03
full discussion about the exit. We're
00:01:06
going to enjoy this one.
