Twitter and Tesla owner Elon Musk on Friday named NBCUniversal advertising chief Linda Yaccarino as the CEO of Twitter, coming just hours after she announced she would be leaving the corporate media outlet.
“I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!” Musk wrote in a post on Friday. The billionaire said she “will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology.”
