The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.
There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.
Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

I’m far from a Musk apologist, I can’t stand the guy, but he has responsibilities with at least X, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Tesla that I know of, so maybe something legitimately came up that required his presence.
Still, it’s a pretty bad look to dial into the first all-hands at your newest company after making everyone else RTO. Hypocrisy is one of the most annoying things for me.
lol for real? Just look at the timestamps of his tweets on his Twitter account, the dude does nothing but post 24/7. Look at his jet locations, dude hasn’t been to work at Tesla in a long time. He barely goes to Austin and basically lives in the Twitter HQ. I mean fuck, during Tesla quarterly earnings calls you can literally see he was tweeting about conspiracy theories and shit. Come. Fucking. On.
He’s a greedy fat fuck who torpedoed his own reputation along with the reputation of nearly everything he touches. He’s living, breathing, and walking proof that CEOs do essentially nothing and that they are EXTREMELY overpaid for what little they actually do compared to their employees who actually make the businesses run and develop the products.
The man is a billionaire with a private jet. It would only take, at most, 3 hours to get from Austin to SF.
If he can call it in for X, then it can work the other way around too for all the other companies. He just couldn’t be bothered to actually show some good leadership, for once.
If he can’t balance the responsibilities for owning all those companies, then he shouldn’t be running them and should sell them off.
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
I would agree, but seeing as tho Musk’s entire fortune is built on his image, anything that can damage it is good for humanity, and let’s be honest he is paying for the shit ton of “Musk the myth, the Legend” articles, so why not boost the ones calling him out?
I agree with you, but Musk operates on the “any publicity is good publicity” strategy. He doesn’t care if it’s good news or bad news.
Also we’ve had heaps of bad news about Musk and yet the cycle continues even after he has been called out countless times. In reality, articles like this that wouldn’t even make the news for another company have one effect - they keep Musk and his businesses in the 24 hour news cycle.
if that big dumb annoying “x” at the top of the building is there illegally
HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING would the law actually prosecute anyone for trying to remove it without their consent?
i mean… it’d be tricky to get rid of that thing without employing dangerous tools. it’s not like anyone would condone dropping thermite or munitions on it from a drone… and you probably can’t fit power tools on a drone or exert enough force with a drone for those power tools to be effective.
but still, just as a thought experiment, how might one go about removing an unsanctioned structural eyesore from a building, as a “public service”?
Some BBs could probably smash enough of the lights in it from a distance?
Or maybe paintballs to make it green
I’m sure Xwitter pays well but I am surprised that the employees stick around due to all Musk has done to destroy the company.
