YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

NBCUniversal announced Friday that its head of advertising, Linda Yaccarino, is leaving her post “effectively immediately” as the long-tenured executive reportedly engages in advanced talks with Elon Musk to take over as the next CEO of Twitter.

Elon Musk confirmed Yaccarino will be Twitter’s new boss in a tweet midday Friday.

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

Yaccarino’s departure from NBCUniversal was confirmed in a press release one day after Musk cryptically announced he had hired a female executive who “will be starting in ~6 weeks.”

“It has been an absolute honor to be part of Comcast NBCUniversal and lead the most incredible team,” Yaccarino said in a statement.
