  • Linda Yaccarino said staff must deploy "hand-to-hand combat’ to win back advertisers, per the FT.
  • The Twitter CEO’s remarks follow the NYT’s report that Twitter ad sales have fallen 59% in a year.
  • Some brands have been ensuring their ads don’t appear next to Elon Musk’s tweets, per the NYT.

Dad, don’t get me wrong. I don’t think he’s a genius. But yeah, with regard to the level of management in which he was buried in those companies - yeah, they greatly protected themselves from him.

I just find it such a waste that he could ruin the greater reach of people that twitter has and they are using a woman for it!

On top of being a stupid blabbering flog, he went on and become himself!
