What Happened to Linda Yaccarino, Ex-CEO of X?
Former CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, seems to have left the company on good terms. Elon Musk, known for not holding back his opinions, has not yet criticized her departure. However, there seems to be a subtle change that caught the attention of keen observers – Linda Yaccarino’s blue check is gone!
Before stepping down, Yaccarino had a blue check next to her name, along with the X logo, indicating her affiliation with the company. Now, both badges have disappeared. This raises questions about the circumstances surrounding her exit.
It is unlikely that Yaccarino was paying for X Premium, considering she held the CEO position. Would Ted Sarandos pay for Netflix or Mark Cuban buy tickets for Dallas Mavericks games on StubHub? It seems improbable.
While anyone can purchase a blue check, X often reserves them for notable accounts to verify their legitimacy. Linda’s account, however, remains unverified. The removal of her affiliation and the blue check raises eyebrows.
Corporate transitions can be awkward, as seen in various examples. The uncertainty that comes with such changes can leave even top executives like Yaccarino in a state of limbo. It’s a reminder that even high-profile individuals face uncertainties during organizational shifts.
Despite the changes, Linda Yaccarino deserves recognition for her previous role, where she managed challenging situations like Elon Musk’s controversial remarks. Let’s hope she receives her blue check back, symbolizing her contributions and accomplishments.
