- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- One of the most captivating moments of the Code 2023 conference was when Linda Yaccarino, current CEO of X, took the stage just an hour after Yoel Roth, former Head of Trust and Safety at Twitter appeared as a surprise guest opposite Kara Swisher. He spoke about death threats, X’s current engagement, and said Yaccarino “should be worried.” Yaccarino used part of her own interview to respond. #Twitter #Technology #Code2023

"He worked at Twitter, I work at X." One minute later... "The team at Twitter are great."
To be fair, the pressure must have been at titanic levels. Considering that she kept it composed at least.
@@flexplexico480Is that what you’d call…this?
@@sonofseptember decomposed maybe..
@@flexplexico480 The more the salary, the more the pressure. Surely both are titanic levels.
Stop lying. It was ten seconds later 😅
Literally seconds after she made a point to say that she works for X and not Twitter, she said her team at Twitter is great and she feels safe there...
💀
Yup, lol, at around 3:15 into it
💀💀💀
LOL yup, she also said she chooses her words specifically wether to call it X or Twitter, sooooo she FELT safe at twitter? LOL
She doesn’t even have the app on her Home Screen 📱
Proof that we can replace CEOs with much cheaper AI.
Thank you Linda, stop generating.
Funniest comment ever. And sadly true in this case. I just hope she’s getting paid well.
@@BrandonCarson I hope she gets paid what she's worth, nothing
I've always advocated AI is not going to be a threat to humans so long as it replaces the crooked politicians and ruthless businesspeople. Even so, the engineers and programmers must be accountable.
I've been arguing for a while that we're replacing the wrong people with AIs. Ditch the executive suite, let AI take on their jobs.
The only concern is I'm not sure we want to teach AI engine to speak in such a narcissistic manner 😂
I don’t usually waste time watching stuff like this, but this was like a hilarious comedy sketch. I’m only halfway through. This is golden. Grabbing a drink before watching the rest.
Doing the same, I went to grab breakfast tacos and a coke because I’m starting my morning the right way 😂
omg. drinking game. yessssssss.
The fact that she looks and sounds exactly like Andrea Martin *doing a sketch* doesn't do her any favors.
It's that really uncomfortable to watch comedy where your mouth is open the entire time, because you cannot comprehend wtf is going on.
Hahaha, think I’ll grab a drink too, haha
One of the most bizarre interviews I've ever seen. She must have a neuralink chip in.
🤣🤣
I believe she was thrown off by the on stage assassination and set-up that everyone was acting like wasn’t on purpose.
This 👌😂
Her whole demeanor from the moment she opens her mouth is so awkward and weird.
It is like Linda is only half present, has half withdrawn from the world.
silicon valley season 7 looks great!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
OMG ROFLMAO!! Ugh I miss SV.
😂😂
🤘
I love hearing her ask the interviewer what Musk said about moving "X" to a subscription-based service. Because she didn't know. Because, you know, she's totally CEO.
She even refers at one point to her working under many CEO's before this. Everyone knows she's just a kid in an ill-fitting suit.
Because it’s not happening.
ceo in name only 🤣
@@Super.Whimsy apparently an inside out one at that. dreadful.
@@hmm5131 CNO (CEO in Name Only) is my new fav biz insult.
Can’t wait to see her give another interview after she’s fallen out of Elon’s graces (I’d give it another 6 months)
Agree. I said by the end of Q1 2024!
😂😂😂
She’ll be in her beachside house in Monterey about $150 million richer after her parachute drops. You know those terms were most important to her negotiating team.
It'll be like whenever Trump kicked one of this cronies to the curb and they suddenly found a conscience
Musk rarely parted ways with his directors. Most people in important positions at Tesla and SpaceX have been in their positions for decades.
This is one of the most painful interviews I've ever watched. She knows about as much as I do about X. She doesn't even have it on her phone!
She literally had both facebook and instagram on there but not x 😂
Because it isn’t on her Home Screen doesn’t mean it isn’t on her phone. Duh! 🤨
@@Crypto_RicoIf you’re the CEO of a company, it should be on your home screen
@@Crypto_Ricoyes bc obviously you wouldn’t think the ceo of the company would have their app being prioritized over their competitors like Facebook and Instagram, both of which are conveniently can be seen on her Home Screen.
She really just should not have shown up. Saying nothing would have been better than this.
She didn't know Yoel would be there. I'm sure she's furious w Verge and Kara and Elon is telling her "told you so haha." But yeah she should have adapted.
I feel like I’m watching Elizabeth Holmes LOL
She said absolutely nothing via word salad.
@@libiroliWhy would it matter if Yoel was there? Is she a coward? A sycophant?
@@sushienjoyerHolmes has 1000x more courage and talent than this lying sycophant.
Linda Yaccarino - "I only bet a dollar." She watched Trading Places, and admired the bad guys of the movie so much she adopted their "dollar bet" idea.
Underrated comment
Somewhere, X’s real CEO is despairingly telling Jamie Lee Curtis how he used to run a company called Twitter.
really? you couldn't have come up with the "dollar bet" all on your own? hahah
Yep. She is a walking Onion article.
@@lh2000 Her? Never...
“We are a new company called x”
*Gets asked next question*
“The team at Twitter…”
Lol, I also noticed that.
She did that so many times too. lol. “I meant to do it that time” 😂
That part was hilarious 😂
Can we please ask Julia Boorstin to moderate presidential debates?
Seriously! Could she have been any more professional, courteous yet firm? She is a great interviewer!
They would trample her. Yaccarino sashayed past most of the questions while she thought of answers. Boorstin was unbelievably kind.
Would be far better than the usual stooges!
She came off so defensive and insecure, but worst of all she came out as an absolute airhead.
What the hell is she wearing?
@@benderrodriguez4107 has no relevance whatsoever. she's being paid to defend her boss. now that isn't easy
The lack of content in her responses is astounding
@@atishayjain8899 this is why I find monologues from people the public cannot talk to extremely tedious
If Airheads can be president and vice president now, airheads can be anything.
Linda saying "chuckles" sums it all up. She thinks she's above it all and doesnt have to take things seriously if she deems those things to be below her
Its type cope and BS you hear coming out of right wing idiots. How ironic.
her dismissiveness and 'hand-waiving' seems to be how she lives her work life apparently, downplaying and mocking. She'd fit right in at Theranos.
later she whines that the crowd "gets those good chuckles" at her expense
saying something that you do (like chuckles) it must be one of those weird social media things
The condescending tone says a lot about her own insecurities.
Two things you never want your CEO to be on a stage: shaken and off-message.
This comment is on point.
I expected she’d have more media training than what she displayed. I’ve prepped CEOs for tough interviews and it’s a skill that takes time and a certain calmness and humility with a side of conviction for a successful interview. Linda displayed none of that. She was panicked, entitled, rude, condescending and worst of all, ill-prepared.
While sipping from her water: "I think my background is being a very senior executive". What a wild interview indeed.
It’s kind of like Beach.
this is SXSW i guarantee something psychedelic is in that 'water'
I REALLY miss SNL during this moments
20:29
So… her background is being a do-nothing liar for money?
So basically what I’m hearing is that her job as CEO is to field DMs from angry users.
Honestly shocked to hear a CEO be so disconnected with what is happening in her company and couple that with such arrogance in her responses. This is the worst of the worst.
all that is left to a CEO without control on her company is arrogance
I think calling it "her company" is a bit disingenuous. It's very much Elon's company.
And I think that's the problem: It feels like a lot of her role there is to just be a public punching bag that sheild Elon Musk from having g to be the one embarrasssed in that interview.
I'm sure the money's good, but man do I nit envy the position she's in with this.
Thought now would be a good time to check back in to remind the brain dead people that no, X has not become 100% paid subscribers as the interviewer lied about. Elon said that was a way to fight bots, not that this was an imminent change. Facts vs emotional fiction
AHAHAHA cope and seethe! I love her!
I think she represents Elon pretty well. They both deserve each other
Seems like she has a job similar to Trump’s press secretaries: appeasing your boss while trying to spin whatever thing he just tweeted/said without any warning or preparation.
As opposed to the ADL humiliating themselves by trying and failing miserably to destroy X? The ADL have become the joke; to require the backing of "61+" groups including the humanitarians at 'Media Matters for America'?
Duh, Karine jean pierre does the same thing for the Biden/DNC machine on the daily.
This is the most accurate response.
I got the same vibe. Just like Sean spicer she sounds like she never heard what her boss said and they never have talked about things
Exactly this.
This is one of the interviews of all time
yes
well said
Charlie?
It certainly must be included among the interviews given. Agreed.
I'd say it's one of the best interviews. Cause now I have a VERY good idea of what things are like inside of Twitter.
If I used the excuse “it’s only my first 100 days” so many times, I’d expect to be fired. She’s the CEO?
She was expecting another 30+ days to make arrangements but the most X owner blew all that up with an early announcement. She's just treading water now, as any CEO under Musk would be
She's like the Liz Truss of CEOs.
She's the CEOINO
Most CEO's are like this
not really. it’s for show.
I wonder if she walked offstage and said to herself “Nailed IT!”
Definitely.
I doubt it. Towards the end, she seemed to exude "I'll rather be skewered and roasted over a pit than be here."
@@SupramanRambled Yeah, she wanted desperately to leave but she screwed herself by saying she really wants to talk about other parts of her business, and couldn't walk away from things she ought to be willing to discuss.
i'll bet her family loves seeing her at Thanksgiving.
How do you get a job like that being an LOONEY
How in the world is she a CEO of anything?
Because nobody with integrity or skill actually wants to work for a adult man child ketamine junkie.
Well, just listen. She's clearly a sociopath and on the spectrum. She's going through the moves that she thinks humans make. Every move is thought about, considered, and executed with a purpose. Just with a little delay, like her carefully chosen words. "It's only about winning" is what she lives by it seems, she literally said those words, and I'm pretty sure she's the CEO because she's a very good and hard manipulator.
Muskrat lost his poll twice about stepping down so he had to put a figurehead in place cuz he's a loser
@@mahadevovnl This! Just listen how this creature refers to its users at 16:19 . Total sociopath. And just thinking that people like this are allowed anywhere close (and be in charge of) anything "social" is freaking me out.
she’s narcissistic, smug, condescending…i mean the list goes on but all prerequisites for most CEO positions
Had no idea Samsung clock was so popular, I think I'm gonna go download it and see what that's about 🤣🤣🤣
Yo whatttttt, I have a Samsung and is it integrated to my phone?🤣
its the bestest and most clockiest clock that ever did clock on these here androids
maybe Samsung will write Linda Yaccarino a thank-you note. 🕰🏆
Less than 5 minutes, she already sounded delusional, unprepared, condescending, trying to sound grand and brave, ..."he doesn't know me ...I don't know him, I worked at X, he worked at Twitter..." what???? X is a new company???? LOL
And then immediately refers to her team at twitter 🤣
And what is this new company and new platform if not literally Twitter?
What a bizarre interview! Linda trying her hardest to be condescending without a platform to stand on.
Right? She’s your college friend’s weird girlfriend who your friend tells you is unbelievable in bed.
she tried to get them to laugh at, supposedly, her friend for not reading a long, awful, sycophantic book
I couldn't agree more. I felt like we were watching someone who is used to being sucked up to who has ZERO ability to read the room. If she wanted to be seen as credible, she should have given him respect even if she didn't see eye to eye, and stuck to the facts to defend her company rather than the character of a critic. Condescending, yes. And had she not acted so emotionally while trying to sound calm, she might have not put off MORE people who already distrust the new company.
Wow, feels like she’s playing to an audience of one
Yeah. Herself!
And that's because she is. Sounds just like the folks who work for Donald, right up until they don't work for him anymore and he turns on them. Good luck, Linda.
The only one that really matters at X - the rest are irrelevant.
@@Ravenlockbet you love sniffing random kids on street , creep
I guess you have to when your boss is a raging narcissist...
This is what happens when you stay up watching Succession instead of doing your homework.
A very senior ceo asking “Where am I sitting” with a whole choice of 1 chair and 1 mic to choose from. Solid entrance.
My skin was crawling the entire time. Yaccarino is such a disrespectful, self-absorbed charlatan. Props to the interviewer for holding her ground
yeah, the first minutes are wild: the way she sits, looks at the people in the room, waves. As if she's a Holywood star. She must think she's made it, curious what lies she'll tell herself when she's fired in a few months.
this is brutal.
And she said her and the interviewer were “deep personal friends” lol - with friends like these who needs Elon bots
Wow this is absolutely painful to watch.
Perfect example of someone who got away with bullshitting because they were surrounded by other wannabees and weren't in the spotlights.
You say painful, I say frustrating.
"I work at X"
"The team at Twitter is fantastic"
Hows that rebrand working out, Linda?
This is embarrassing. Why does code have to clear speakers with any guest at the conference? Linda was gonna withhold her commitment to code because someone she disagrees with is another speaker? One who spoke pretty calmly and patiently I might add. Shes in way over her head at Xwitter.
Yeah, I thought X was all about free speech, and those those who disagree being allowed to speak...
it IS pretty ironic that the CEO (CINO) of a company that's "free speech for ALL! We mean it!" would try that move.
She is so evasive, saying almost nothing and just mumbo jumboing her way through this interview! This is one of the most superficial interviews I have heard! - 38 minutes of hot air!
There is condescension in her tone, her body language, choice of words. She’s just not a happy person.
These people need to be dragged through dirt and laughed at to actually understand how it feels to be down. She complains about being being a "public person" but has the ability to actually afford without worrying about food and "woe is me" they are because they are "public"
Arrogance is what I felt
With all her millions, I’m sure she’s doing fine
@@problemimentali Just another empty vessel. These people have no concept of what it means to live paycheque topaycheque. They think the system is "fair" and it is only because we are "lazy" that we aren't doing well for ourselves.
@@problemimentali the point is not about her money. the point is even with all that, she's miserable.
The worst CEO I’ve heard - like she’s just been transferred from AOL in 2001
But it all starts with the user experience 😂
@@trailrunner72 She was so proud droppin lingo and displaying a caring human.
hey now, that's an insult to AOL from 2001 :)
"It's a new day at X, and I'll leave it at that."
(the quietest single clap ever)
she really thought she dropped a fire line there probably.
where is the part where she throws the mic at a window? what a scam.
Exactly what I thought when I heard it hahaahahaha
Only Elon clapped
*cough cough* 😂
This was by far the best SNL show for years!
💀
I was going to say the exact same thing!
This was a dumpster fire of an interview. Clear that Linda comes from an advertising background as all she did during this interview was advertise herself. Clearly no one knows what is going on at X/Twitter.
She sells advertising and is no CEO. She won't last long
Can we talk about how she doesn't even have X on her phone's home screen?
this is so deeply embarrassing for the entire human species. these are the people we give money and power to.
"We."
@@bjornunderabadsign you know what i mean
You gave her money?
are you talkin' bout Linda Yakkowakko&dotto???
I actually relish the way the mystique around these figures is fading. It's going to lead to a shift eventually. The current system cannot continue like this. Can you imagine how much she earns for this level of incompetence?
This is like when Sean Spicer gave his inaugural press conference and tried to push the "it was the biggest inauguration ever" line through sheer force of will
No it's far worse. He stayed on message and went down with the shop. Thank goodness SNL is coming back lol
*ship
It was though if you look at the data, not just the navy blue DC persons in attendence. 😅
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an example of what NOT to do when being interviewed 😂😂😂
Well this interview was super fun to watch. No one will ever take her seriously after this but damn it was fun. She did HORRIBLE job.
Heads up: HD stream is still processing, but we wanted to get this out to y'all ASAP. Stay tuned.
edit: Ok! It finished processing! Thanks for your patience.
Ok thank you so much!
Any more code coverage ?
Are you going to upload the Yoel Roth interview?
@@Trynottoblink just happened.
No 4K? 🤔
She said a whole lot of nothing, avoided answers and just seemed out of her element with the entire interview. I don't doubt she was effective at her previous job but this is a classic example of being promoted to the level of your inability.
After this interview I highly doubt she was effective at anything. Her ENTIRE demeanor was so bizarre I can only compare her to characters from HBO's Silicon Valley. I think this is either an example of "failing upwards" or extremely well done meta humor.
"Can you answer my question?"
"I'm not going to answer your question, but I will tell you that completely candid and transparant in everything I do"
No shock here at all she used to be part of Trump's staff 😂
I didn't realize that, it sounded so much like it came out of the Trump playbook. I guess he's really laid out a game plan for autocrats to assume global power LOL.
word salad.
She is a true testament to Elon's character.
Sickest burn on here 😆
😂🏆
2 birds with 1 insult
Well played.
One cannot be a testament to what one's owner is genetically incapable of possessing.
I'm literally speechless on how this went.
you are literally not
@@marwanthe2oooth He's literally literary
Just like I'm literally unable to reply to youtube comments right now.
She is more like a republican politician, not a tech CEO. She has nothing tech-like to her.
She's a massive left wing progressive and has voted for DNC candidates her entire life. Are you sure we watched the same video or did you just post that without watching? lol
@@darthvillarious Pls read my comment once again so you can understand the tone and the tense better. I was comparing her based on her responses/performance on this shitshow of an interview. She seemed extremely unaware of the reality she's in as a CEO.
@@darthvillarious Lmao, you are hallucinating, she is a literal Trump appointee.
There's no way she's sober on that stage.

So well said!
This is why old money stays in the background like Homer in the bushes.
She herself is neither of those things.

*If a product and engineering team "at a product company" does not report to the CEO, the person is NOT a CEO. Plain and simple.*
A masterclass in gaslighting
She cant even keep her story straight... First she says she didnt work at Twitter, but at X. While at 3:18 she talks about Twitter again... What a joke
Yes. Also at 12:05 she is just straight up avoiding questions about metrics
She keeps avoiding the stat of daily user question
@@m.e.shorts Yes, and you notice that her stat relating to increased engagement is only relative to a point in June? She could have picked "Since we took over". They clearly are measuring from their own lowpoint.
Imagine having her as your boss…
Please, no. 🥺
Sounds like she’s no one’s boss ATM ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How the heck did she get the job. The Sarah Palin of tech.
*ouch*
Why is she so defensive? She is also not very likable and lives in her own reality.
You don't read rooms well do you?
@@joshm.5463 lol the ol "so vague as to be functionally meaningless." explain yaself, baldy. if you aren't just shoveling RW bs
Her own political leanings are on the MAGA spectrum - that might explain a bit why she is like this :).
The entire tone of the first 3 minutes was SO strange. She was acting like everyone had just been subjected to the ravings of a mad man and they were all shook by how weird it was. She came off as totally detached from reality.
"I will always stand up for the truth". After avoiding it for 33 mins.
She doesn’t sound like a CEO to me. She is definitely not in charge
The only place where she’s the CEO is in her email signature
She was never going to be CEO. She’s fooling herself to say otherwise.
Ya think
every day that goes by, this interview is funnier and funnier.
How was this person a senior executive at NBCUniversal, which I presume functions like a real grown-up company?! I could BS better than this.
Not just any senior executive, she was a chairman there, it’s a very high up title
There’s many senior execs in a company, only a handful of chairs thougj

"CEO"
@@RyanMicheroRight? She’s nothing more than a glorified scapegoat

@@RyanMichero facts don't care about your feelings Linda
@@NickTerry1 which is EXACTLY why Musky Stench hired her. To make him look better.
Ah, Linda Yaccarino, the master of talking over everyone except the actual facts. It's truly astounding to witness her struggle to respond to basic questions and glaring controversies. I can't help but wonder, does she have a dedicated team that tutors her before these live Q&A sessions? Given the straightforward nature of the questions and the widely known issues at hand, one might expect clear and proper answers. But alas, Linda fumbles and stumbles. When confronted, she's like a deer in headlights, desperately searching for an escape route. Oh, the spectacle of a CEO fleeing an interview - it's a sight to behold, one for the record books, I dare say!
My guess is they fired everyone at twitter who could have tutored her.
Democrat "equality" selection.
She's a piece of work.
Thought now would be a good time to check back in to remind the brain dead people that no, X has not become 100% paid subscribers as the interviewer lied about. Elon said that was a way to fight bots, not that this was an imminent change. Facts vs emotional fiction
This was one of the most difficult to finish interviews I've experienced since listening to the Decoder episode with the CEO of Substack. Yaccarino was just absolutely combative and avoidant to all of the interviewer's questions, and certainly did not stoke the confidence in Twitter/X that she was trying to.
Yeah turns out when you have hostile questions, and surprise guests that you didn’t tell them about people tend to be combative.
@@Mathis218337 What's "combative" about asking simple questions about Twitter policies? She couldn't give a straight answer to very basic questions. It was pathetic.
@@Mathis218337 if a question is hostile because it implies you don't know what you're talking about, and then you demonstrate that you don't really know what you're talking about, was it really that hostile?
22:30 is a moment that will live forever
Jumping up. Me! Memememememe!
Absolutely telling, lmaooo
Pure comedy
For some reason it reminds me of when Jeb Bush said “Please clap”
Dont feel bad for a CEO of a billion dollar company who's paid millions to function *effectively* under various levels of pressure in and outside of the walls of a company.
Yea
Same. Even if it’s true that she was ambushed, so what. If you can’t answer tough questions at the last minute then you don’t deserve a CEO’s salary.
She’s attending the WSJ Tech Live conference next month. We’ll see if she’s still the CEO and if they’ll devote at least one question and answer portion to her Code appearance.
Its like being in the NFL, you gotta be the best of the best. Its like watching a little league player be hired as star quarter back for the New England Patriots (Not to associate X with the Patriots).
'there is no Twitter. I run a new company called x. The team at Twitter is fantastic' wait what?
If X is all about good product why would someone so remote from product be appointed to represent a company? Think for a minute, Telegram has currency and wallet since years.. x% more users vs twitter and she acted like it was first time they’ve heard about it. Also, one ought to wonder what kind of 100 product improvements in 100 days she is referring to?
I think its good that the guy running this site into the ground also wants to put self driving cars on the road and microchips in our brains. 👍
Don't forget "expanding to the stars" 😂😂😂😂
@15:59 Does Linda even use X?
I see...

Came here from your Threads post 😅
The fact that she’s so surprised that she gets Elon’s time is really truth-telling. She is in fact a CINO.
True true.
Like the owner of a company giving the time of day to the chief executive he hired to run his $44B investment is somehow impressive🤔
Wow. For a media exec to be this unprepared...
She actually looked at her watch and said i gotta go 😂
Right!? As if the entire thing wasn't embarrassing enough she ends it with the old look-at-watch gag. I nearly spit out my coffee. As if anyone believes she scheduled this interview so tight that she had to get off the stage at that moment.
«Enough humiliation for today»
*flies away*
Anybody wanna talk about how the X app is completely absent on Linda Yaccarino’s phone? 15:42
What a catch! I even see FB in the homescreen
!!!
19:58 you’re not asking me the right questions 😂😂😂
She's crazy lol
Smug and evasive are the only ways to describe her. Unfortunately nobody is buying it.
yeah, she's not even good at being smug and evasive.
Ahhh! I was looking for the word to describe it with my mom.
Smug! That’s the word!
She's still getting paid.
I went into this interview with an open mind. It seemed like she handled it ok at first, and she is obviously in a very tough spot and there are many questions that she just can't answer. But honestly, it is painful to watch this interview. She is trying so hard to weasel out of every tough question, but she just doesn't make it.
This was excruciating to watch
She totally embarrassed herself and has ruined her credibility. Deflection, avoiding to answer hard questions, answering her own questions.
I don't know how anyone walks away believing her about the company somehow being on the road to profitability based off of what she said in this.
It is WORD salad and embarrassing
The answering your own questions thing is such an interesting tactic. I hadn't actually heard of it referred to in such terms, but it's such a deceptive and off-putting thing to hear people use as a rhetorical tool.
This was an outstanding job by the journalists. You have to put them on the spot to answer some tough questions and go past their BS narrative.
Not one question actually answered...the key one that was avoided 'are you going to charge users?'....she doesn't know...however, she thinks she knows everything and is awesome...and if she is still in role in a year, I will eat my hat
Is she high on this interview? Is she totally awake?? This is the most bizarre interview with a CEO ever.
Not sure, but I'd definitely need to be drunk if I had to sit in meetings with this knucklehead.
Difficult watch, thanks for sharing.
What's up with all those pseudo-power moves? Lots of hand gestures, interruptions, and gumming to the audience? The whole thing was weird.
during year 9 I tried to wing my science presentation with lots of talking, a combative approach to my classmates and some cheap prisms and a torch I found that morning. it went slightly better than this interview.

You can watch Yoel Roth's full interview here: th-cam.com/video/M9XoUUYeZD8/w-d-xo.html
The contrast couldn't be more striking.
So, you all thought it was a good idea to pin the Yoel video on Linda's video but didn't do the same on his interview?
No we can't. It's insufferable.
He still knows dramatically more about the subject matter than this stooge CEO.
Twitter got flushed down the toilet the moment when the stable genius bought the company.....good riddance X.
She doesn't seems anywhere near as belivable as Yoel. I'm being kind.
Remember on Elon's first day when a lady working there asked him if he was planning on laying off 75% of the staff and he said (facetiously), "I'm not sure where you're getting that number.". But of course he actually did exactly that.
"I'm not sure where you're getting that number" means "as soon as I find out, they're fired"
she's an expert in yapping
Linda Yapparino
Wow, pure chaos. Her jacket’s inside-out, she doesn’t seem to know what’s going on within the company, or even the company’s new name. She avoids answering the questions and turns to the audience for approval, just like her boss.
I know corporate BS when I hear it, and I will chuckle, when she is fired, all in the name of dynamic change, of course.
For $6M a year, the LEAST Linda could do is walk out on the stage. She thinks she deserves a round of applause for not running away? That's a REALLY LOW BAR.
Part Adam Neumann, Part Elizabeth Holmes, Part Kellyanne Conway
Too much Elizabeth Holmes
Goddamn you're spot on, I see all of it. She's shaking with rage at the start, which I have to admit I find hilarious
Kellyanne Conway, Edith Prickley and Teresa Heinz.
Otherwise known as the FMK situation where I kill myself. @@1247.cccccc
Also Bozo the Clown
Good god, the difference in watching the Zuck interview compared to this is just night and day, Linda is just lost and grabbing for straws.
I never thought I would hear anybody say Zuck is the sanest person in the room, but dang, I guess we're all doomed
I was gonna say…. Having less stage presence than Zuck is sad 😞
"The team at Twitter is fantastic." So she doesn't know the name of her company.
Oh, joy! For a moment there , I mistook this for a rejected SNL sketch. Comparing this to the Yoel interview, it would be like mistaking a Picasso for a preschooler's doodle. She's serving us some serious Kellyanne Conway realness. How... delightful 🙄 Good luck ‘X’ Yikes!
Holding my breath for the moment she tears off her inside out blazer, flips over the table, and fights the journalist.
the Kriss Kross of CEOs.
Not that I have any sympathy for her, but can't imagine she pictured herself 4 months into the new job in an interview stumbling through an incomprehensible answer about why the owner of her company is threatening to sue the ADL.
You could teach a seminar about disastrous organizational leadership just studying this video.
"my background is being a very senior executive". Lol
This proves that CEOs are out of touch and overpaid, she has no excuse she's been an executive for over 20 years just roaming around being paid weird amounts of money to be out of touch and ramble
She has no excuse for what? I am unclear what is being referenced here. Did you listen to the interview?
@@christopherhale580 no excuse for being a buffoon with no knowledge of what's going on in her own failing company, this is the weirdest interview I have ever seen and this lady is worthless
@@christopherhale580 Big time Succession vibes
