WEF CEO Says SHE Runs Twitter (X), Not Elon, & Introduces Censorious ‘Labeling’ of ‘Lawful But Awful’ Users.
Linda Yaccarino, the World Economic Forum (WEF) former NBC executive hired by Elon Musk as CEO of Twitter, now X, has boasted that she, not Musk, is in charge of the site, with the South African billionaire banished to the tech team. Yaccarino also boasted that X now has a “freedom of speech not freedom of reach” policy which “labels” users for posting unapproved narratives, then demonetizes them and limits their exposure.
“Mine and Elon’s roles are very clear,” she said in a CNBC interview Thursday, describing Musk’s area of responsibility as “product design” at the head of “a team of extraordinary engineers [focusing] on new technology.”
Asked about the company’s so-called “hate speech” policies, Yaccarino said: “It goes back to my point about our success with freedom of speech, not reach… If it is lawful but it’s awful, it’s extraordinarily difficult for you to see it.” Yaccarino has hired fellow ex-NBC executive and drag queen enthusiast Joe Benarroch, who was involved in censoring anti-illegal immigration adverts by Donald Trump at the network, to assist her at X.
