Twitter owner Elon Musk Friday sparked outrage and confusion when he announced his new pick for CEO.
Linda Yaccarino left her post at NBCUniversal as global advertising and partnerships chair last week in preparation for her new role at Twitter. Yaccarino chairs the World Economic Forum’s Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the globalist organization’s Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee.
“I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!” Musk tweeted Friday. “@LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology.
“Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.”
Yaccarino’s appointment confused Twitter users, who noted that earlier this year Musk slammed the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its executive chairman, Klaus Schwab, after the globalist discussed how to “master the future” at the Davos summit in January.
“‘Master the Future’ doesn’t sound ominous at all,” Musk tweeted sarcastically. “How is WEF/Davos even a thing? Are they trying to be the boss of Earth!?”
Twitter netizens were also bewildered when it was revealed that Yaccarino demanded people wear masks and take the experimental COVID-19 injections.
“Just keep your distance, get your hands washed often, get tested often, and wear your mask,” Yaccarino advised Penn State students in 2021 before telling them to “mask up or pack up”.
In 2020 as chair of the Ad Council, Yaccarino partnered with the Biden administration to market the COVID-19 vaccine to Catholics by obtaining Pope Francis’ endorsement. Yaccarino also supported vaccine mandates, according to the Daily Mail.
Musk, however, has been a vocal opponent of vaccine mandates. On Saturday, the Tesla CEO railed against the Biden administration’s push for forced vaccinations.
“Until the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s vaccination decree, he tried to demand that we fire all unvaccinated personnel – some of our finest people,” Musk wrote.
Furthermore, while Musk has described himself as a “free speech absolutist” and reportedly purchased Twitter to free it from the shackles of censorship, Yaccarino has previously urged Musk to censor speech on his platform.
In an interview last year, Yaccarino advised the billionaire to bring back the “influence council”, a conglomerate of advertisers who helped dictate what speech to suppress under the platform’s previous administration.
But Musk came to Yaccarino’s defense Friday after #RIPTwitter began trending on the platform in response to his decision.
“I hear your concerns, but don't judge too early,” Musk said. “I am adamant about defending free speech, even if it means losing money.”
