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.

    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
