Elon Musk admitted to having "handed a loaded gun" to both critics and antisemitic individuals, acknowledging that his post might be among the worst in his history of making many "foolish" statements.
Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), is being urged by a number of advertising executives to resign from her role in the wake of an advertiser exodus and scrutiny over owner Elon Musk's antisemitic remarks on the platform.
X, formerly known as Twitter, has lost users, advertisers and a lot of employees since Elon Musk took over the platform a year ago in a $44 billion deal. But, he still believes the platform is on a path to profits and prosperity.
This time last year, Elon Musk, world’s richest person and chief executive of Tesla, SpaceX, et al, was celebrating the end of a long and convoluted path to his acquisition of social media platform Twitter. The $44 billion deal, that first saw the light of day as an unsolicited offer in April 2022, was on the cusp of a potentially epic legal battle before Musk finally applied his signature to a purchase agreement last fall. At the time, he promised to remake Twitter, which has since been rebranded as X, through his own lens as a self-described “free speech absolutist.”
