Elon Musk confirmed on his Twitter page that he is hiring NBC Universal’s Linda as the new CEO of Twitter.

In that Twitter post he Said,

“I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter. Linda Yaccarino will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design and new technology. I look forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.”

Prior to this announcement, NBC Universal had said Linda Yaccarino would soon step down as president of global advertising and partnerships.

There is no doubt that Linda Yaccarino, who has great business acumen, will be a great asset to Twitter’s future.
