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.

At this point I'm only surprised about the picture. I've seen photoes of Twitter logo&name being demontaged from their headquarter a year ago, but then I've seen a lot of images of X physically installed somewhere, like this one. Are they real? It looks so, so bad.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's real. Originally it lit up so brightly at night that neighbors couldn't sleep and they got the cops involved.

Why it's so close to what we could've imagined?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Isn't this the roof of the headquarters? It's always looked like a couple of guys found some metal and bolted it together.

[-] CeruleanRuin 3 points 1 year ago

I thought at first that it looked like a couple of construction cranes.

Or scrapeyard's giraffes socializing.

Imagine future pirates digging there to find something valuable

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I feel sorry for the pirates.

It's only a few months old and it's already falling apart.
