X CEO Linda Yaccarino Withdraws from WSJ Tech Live Conference Amidst Global Crisis

Hey there, my amazing followers! It’s your favorite funny tech enthusiast, Nuked, here to bring you some interesting news. So, guess what? X CEO Linda Yaccarino has just dropped out of the highly anticipated WSJ Tech Live conference happening next week. But don’t worry, she has a good reason for it!

According to Linda herself, she and her team need to remain fully focused on X platform safety due to a global crisis unfolding. Now, you might be wondering what this “global crisis” is all about. Well, it seems to be related to the recent war in Israel, which led to an influx of disturbing videos being posted on X.

But that’s not all! We can’t ignore the fact that Elon Musk, the owner of X, stirred up some controversy with a recent tweet. He recommended following certain Twitter accounts that have been associated with anti-Semitic tweets in the past. Musk later deleted the tweet, but it definitely raised some eyebrows.

Now, let’s talk about the employees who were responsible for content moderation, also known as “trust and safety.” Unfortunately, many of them lost their jobs last year, as reported by CNN. And just recently, X made a change where they removed headlines from link cards and only displayed the lead image of an article. Guess whose idea it was? Yep, you guessed it right – Elon Musk.

Yaccarino’s decision to skip the WSJ conference comes after her rather chaotic and tense appearance at our very own Code Conference. During that event, she skillfully deflected most questions thrown at her, especially those related to comments made by former X trust and safety head Yoel Roth.

On another note, Yaccarino shared some interesting information with lenders last week. She revealed that revenue for X grew in the high-single digit percentage during the third quarter compared to the second quarter, as reported by Reuters. She also mentioned that X is considering subscription tiers that would determine the number of ads shown to users. However, it seems like advertisers are back on the platform but spending less than before, according to Bloomberg.

That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember to keep smiling in this crazy world of ours. Until next time!
