Twitter and Musk

[TreeFrogTrader]

Well maybe you should read the articles and the statements from Ella Irwin and AJ Brown - both of whom left due to Elon's misgendering rants and the overriding of their Trust & Safety decisions.

Yeh sure. They left as an alternative to being canned along with the rest of the non-performers.

Giving them the chance to resign is just a bit of grace offered to them.

All of the employees who have left involuntarily are disgruntled. It goes with the turf.

Anyway, Linda will be putting her new team together and some the new senior managers coming in will want to move out any duds below. This is just corporate world 101. You did not experience this down at the DMV.

Company after company is ditching advertising on Twitter. The hiring of Linda Yaccarino as CEO has not changed anything. If anything the trend is accelerating. No major brand wants their ads next to hate speech.

Despite TreeFrogTrader's claims that Ella Irwin and others in the Twitter's Trust & Safety department were fired or pushed out by Elon Musk on behest of the incoming CEO -- this simply is not true.

As outlined by Ella Irwin and others they voluntarily resigned due to to Musk's support of hate speech on Twitter and his overriding the decisions of the Trust & Safety team.

Twitter had a staggering decline in ad sales. An internal Twitter presentation showed that the company’s American ad sales in the five weeks from April 1 into early May stood at $88 million—a whopping 59 percent lower than the same period a year earlier. The advertisers are likely spooked by a rise in hate speech and pornography on the social network, as well as more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products, and other low quality products.

Twitter 2.0 is laughable. Despite allowing ads from questionable gambling sites, weed vendors, scammy crypto sites, and other low quality vendors -- the advertising revenue at Twitter continually hits new lows. What is Musk getting... a mere penny per million impressions?

Musk is simply allowing mobs to create their own facts -- leading to additional Covid misinformation, election-denial nonsense,

Oh btw... I meant to post this earlier when I saw it scroll by...

Good luck to her. Is it time to start a pool on how many days she lasts?

Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino logs first day in role
https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitters-new-ceo-linda-yaccarino-logs-first-day-role-2023-06-06/

Twitter's new Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino has begun her role at the social media company, she tweeted late on Monday, about a month after Elon Musk named her as the new CEO.

"It happened — first day in the books!," she tweeted, without providing further details.

Yaccarino, the former advertising chief at NBCUniversal, is taking over Twitter at a time when the social media platform has been trying to reverse a plunge in ad revenue.

Musk, who has served as the CEO since his $44 billion buyout of Twitter last October, previously said that Yaccarino would help build an "everything app".

Former NBCUniversal executive Joe Benarroch also joined Twitter on Monday. He oversaw communication strategy for the Comcast-owned company's Advertising and Partnerships division, reporting to Yaccarino, before joining Twitter.
