One of the richest people on Earth, Elon Musk, continues to make headlines following his acquisition of social media platform Twitter in late 2022, after careful reconsideration and in partnership with the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance. Interestingly, post-acquisition, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX named himself the CEO of Twitter as well. However, the entrepreneur now plans to step down as the chief executive of the firm, which was removed from public listing by the billionaire last year.
Volgens de ambtenaar Aankondiging from Elon Musk via his official Twitter account, a new woman has been hired as the CEO of X Corp., the parent company of the social media platform, who will also replace the billionaire as the CEO of Twitter in late June or early July. It is important to mention here that the name of the newly elected executive for the platform hasn’t been revealed.
Aan de andere kant, volgens a rapport from the Wall Street Journal, the head of advertising at NBCUniversal, an American multinational mass media and entertainment firm, Linda Yaccarino, was in talks to be selected as the candidate for the position. The members of the crypto community were not happy with this news, claiming that Elon Musk hadn’t made the right choice if he selected Yaccarino as the Twitter head.
Yaccarino, the likely Twitter CEO, is also a World Economic Forum Executive Chair and a supporter of Big Pharma. She recently tried to convince Elon Musk to commit to self-censorship and urged him to allow advertisers to feel that they can “influence” Twitter. In an interview with the billionaire in April during an advertisement conference in Miami, the NBCUniversal executive stated that advertisers “need to feel there’s an opportunity for them to influence what you’re building.”
In de interview, Yaccarino tried to push Elon Musk to self-censor by not tweeting after 3 am. While he did agree to limit himself to some extent, he pushed back against the executive’s attempts to hinder his speech.
“If I were to say, ‘Yes, you can influence me,’ that would be wrong,” Musk said. “That would be very wrong because that would be a diminishment of freedom of speech.”
In the interview, the billionaire made it very clear that he was not content with the fact that letting advertisers influence Twitter would be a good idea. However, Yaccarino continued to push the topic, adding that “influencing” is “more of an open feedback loop” for advertisers to “help develop Twitter into a place where they will be excited about investing” in areas such as “product development, ad safety, and content moderation.”
Elon Musk wees er in de aankondiging op dat hij de rol van Executive Chairman en Chief Technology Officer (CTO) op zich zou nemen om toezicht te houden op de product-, software- en systeemactiviteiten.
Zoals eerder gemeld door Bitnation, kocht de miljardair en een van de oprichters van PayPal vorig jaar Twitter tegen een prijskaartje van $44 miljard, dat wil zeggen tegen $54.20 per aandeel, waarbij de socialemediagigant op dat moment ongeveer 765 miljoen uitstaande aandelen had.
Moreover, Binance and a series of other investment firms supported Musk’s takeover bid, with the exchange’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ in the crypto industry, wishing to bring “social media and Web3 together and broaden the use and adoption of crypto and blockchain technology.”
