@w7voa Heads up, #LindaYaccarino seems to follow same accounts as Chris Pratt does.

Aka. She might be a MAGA.

@sub_o @w7voa
There's no might about it. She was a trump appointee.
@sub_o @w7voa If so, how did she end up at NBC? I have to wonder if she followed @chadloder at some point in his tenure on Twitter. Time to see if Rachel Maddow can offer some insight...
@w7voa Is she going to restore a modicum of sanity to their decision making?
@w7voa
More important is that she was a Trump appointee so has previously sold her soul and everyone knows it.
@w7voa So maybe Elon things she can bring advertisers back. Probably not, unless she can restrain him and reverse some of his bad decisions and I suspect that he still wants to run the show.
@w7voa @jack_daniel - here is the name of the woman on the precipice of the glass cliff.
@w7voa It can only survive with him supporting it with millions of his own personal money. I have no idea what the monthly expense is to run Twitter but it must have mainstream advertisers buying in. When I left 90% were direct response ads. No way that is footing the bill.
@w7voa Her ask: "Don't make me have a blue checkmark."
@w7voa Is she also a fan of racist authoritarian government like Elmo?

@w7voa he needs someone to be the front and take the heat while he continues to work on creating the worlds most dangerous disinformation machine.

Attached: 1 image Elon and the New CEO Obviously one can question how much power she’ll have. But I want everyone to know this: there is an entire literature within the broad literature on business and organizational management just on how women are often brought into leadership positions at times of crisis within organizations. Management portrays it as change, a fresh perspective, a breath of fresh air, etc. 1/3
