Elon Musk names NBCU ad chief Linda Yaccarino as Twitter CEO | CNN Business

So, I just read this wild article about how Elon Musk is apparently naming the ad chief of NBC Universal, Linda Yaccarino, as the new CEO of Twitter! I mean, what?!

Basically, the article says that Musk tweeted out the news on Monday, which sent Twitter’s stock soaring. Yaccarino has worked in the media industry for over two decades, and Musk apparently believes she’ll be able to help Twitter increase its revenue and user base.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I always thought being the CEO of Twitter would be a pretty cool gig. Imagine all the crazy stuff you could tweet! But on a more serious note, it’s really interesting to see a figure like Musk getting involved in the management of a tech company like Twitter. It kind of reminds me of when Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg testified in front of Congress a few years back. Clearly, these big tech companies are becoming more and more intertwined with the world of politics and media.

All in all, I think this news just reinforces how important social media is becoming in our daily lives, whether we like it or not. And who knows, maybe Yaccarino will be able to turn Twitter into even more of a cultural and financial powerhouse. Only time will tell!
