X Marks the Drama: Linda Yaccarino's Rollercoaster Interview

Linda Yaccarino, the big shot at social media playground X, took the hot seat at Vox Media’s Code 2023 event. But, oh boy, the interview was like a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for!

First off, the numbers game: X lost a bunch of daily active users, and the count is still playing hide and seek. Linda initially said 225 million, then X was like, “Hold up, it’s actually 245 million.” Musk must be wondering where his users went since he took the Twitter throne.

Then, out of the blue, Yoel Roth, the ex-head of Twitter safety, crashed the party. Linda knew he was coming, yet the interview was like a broken record stuck on Roth and his Twitter turmoil. Talk about an unexpected plot twist!

The CEO of X tried to flex by showing his phone, shouting, “Look at us, the kings of real-time discussions!” But eagle-eyed spectators spotted a missing app – no X on his home screen. Facebook, Instagram, Signal, sure. X? Nope.

Now, the ad game. Linda claims advertisers are back like they never left. Musk, on the other hand, thinks X’s ad revenue is taking a nosedive. It’s like they’re playing a game of “who’s got the real stats?”

The most head-scratching moment? Linda defending Musk, even when the interviewer asked, “What’s your actual role?” It’s like, “Dude, you’re the CEO, but Musk is still pulling the strings.” Talk about a plot twist with audience members laughing like it’s a sitcom.

In the end, it’s a wild ride at X – drama, disappearing users, and a CEO who’s a fan of Musk’s surprises. Buckle up, it’s a social media soap opera! 🍿✨
