X CEO Linda Yaccarino claims 90% of the top 100 advertisers “returned to the platform in the past 12 weeks alone” and that X will be profitable by early 2024
You cannot talk profitability when you are defrauding owed funds to others. … Bluesky: @67sound.bsky.social : This may or may not be true if she is talking operating cash flow but I would bet everything I own that it is decidedly not true once you factor in debt service. [embedded post] Evan Dandy Warhol / @dadloop.bsky.social : I love that because of their dumb name change, the first thing that my brain registers when I read this post is that twitter fired their new CEO. [embedded post] X: Kara Swisher / @karaswisher : 1. She and her PR person knew all day and were also offered to go on before @yoyoel too. Their choice as they wanted the last word, I guess. I also sent a text to her and everyone involved early this morning. No one was sandbagged. Yoel was asked a week ago btw. Do you think I... Dan Primack / @danprimack : Yeah, they sandbagged her (and Julia to some extent). Will make it much tougher for Code to book future guests. But Linda runs one of the world's most powerful platforms — one that must make very tough and sometimes quick decisions. Got to be able to roll w/ the punches. Kara Swisher / @karaswisher : 3. Not once in 20 years did we ever worry about booking anyone as a condition of how we conducted our interviews. See Zuckerberg. See Fiorina. See Semel. And yet we managed to thrive and make millions in profits annually. Good lord, is making CEOs all comfy my job? It is not. Kara Swisher / @karaswisher : 2. She is the CEO and should be able to perform under pressure regardless. She should have all the numbers and facts at her fingertips. She should be able to articulate a vision easily. If she's paid the big bucks, she needs to bring the big guns. The very talented @JBoorstin... Ben Bergman / @thebenbergman : This is so surreal. Everyone in the audience still stunned and some even nervously chuckling. @karaswisher looking on from the back. @lindayaX seems totally out of her depth on stage. @JBoorstin trying admirably but this is a mess.
