Linda Yaccarino, the new CEO of X, faced significant challenges in restoring relationships with advertisers after Elon Musk's chaotic ownership. Shortly after her appointment, Musk's antisemitic tweet caused major brands to pause advertising on the platform. Despite Musk's later apology to advertisers, his confrontational attitude alienated them further. Yaccarino's tenure has been marked by Musk’s unpredictable behavior and ongoing content issues. Experts indicated that Yaccarino's role was more aligned with that of a chief advertising officer rather than an empowered CEO, suggesting she was set up to fail.
Musk’s public behavior led to the loss of major advertisers, forcing Yaccarino to navigate an unpredictable landscape while dealing with ongoing content moderation issues.
Linda Yaccarino’s role has transitioned from CEO to de facto chief advertising officer, indicating a structural mismatch in authority and expectations with Musk.
