The person I most feel sorry for is Linda Yaccarino, CEO and head of advertising at X. She was sitting in the audience when he did this. Imagine how awkward her near-term conversations with advertisers who were with X as of last week will be.

I felt this way at one point, but after a certain point of her covering for his erratic behavior it’s just enabling and collecting a paycheck. I’d have quit months ago.

    Those emoticons are like a hilarious and alarming comorbidity of the personality required to make the posts you're making. NB: I love the posts you're making.

She signed up for it; I mean it's not like it was a secret what he's like. Yaccarino was apparently at NBC for 12 years. This leads me to suspect that 30 Rock was a documentary.

  "As the new Twitter CEO, Linda Yaccarino is slated to make around $6 million per annum" Probably adequate to put up with this for a bit.

    X/twitter recently hired her son too. Seems like the whole family is out for the smash-n-grab. https://www.semafor.com/article/11/19/2023/twitter-bets-big-on-ceos-son https://www.semafor.com/article/11/19/2023/twitter-bets-big-...

      Who would ever have thought that the CEO's son was the best person for the job?! What a gratifying coincidence.

Uh. It's not like she suddenly found herself in the middle of this nonsense like those H1-B employees. She explicitly chose to be part of the shitshow. She is the person requiring the LEAST sympathy here.

> The person I most feel sorry for is Linda Yaccarino, CEO and head of advertising at X. Why? It's not like she was at Twitter when Musk bought it. She knew what she was signing up for. If she didn't, she's a moron. I feel sorry for all the H1B engineers getting the short end of the deal now that the tech job market is shit. Linda is going to be fine.
