Linda Yaccarino Makes a Fool of Herself

Comes to a conference interview unready to answer basic question or articulate a vision for X (Twitter).

A republicunt, to boot!

Worst of all, her suit is wrinkled!

Her late stage career is tattered and deconstructing, like her suit.

It is not what you know, it's who you know and do.

Why would anyone expect anything else?

Oh my, I thought that was Jasmine Guy at first.

These are the "job creators" and God's of capitalism. We are all suppose to worship them and strive to be so successful. When in reality they are all trash.

Umm. Yeah. Lemme look into it and get back to you.

Boy, you gotta listen to this interview, which is on the On with Kara Swisher podcast this past Thursday.

Yaccarino is unhinged and comes across like a moron, her answers so vague and filled with corporate-speak. At one point she calls herald “a solutions provider.”

A hilarious account of it all.

She was an empty suit on the ad side; this job just exposed her a bit more quickly and obviously.

R11, that comes through in this interview. An ad salesperson can spin a web of bullshit and get away with it. She’s still spinning and it’s transparent she’s no idea what she’s talking about.

Hilariously, she was claiming that in the 100+ days since she joined “X,” they’ve launched like 100 new products, implying she’s moving quickly to make change.

The problem with that is no significant new products could be developed and launched in such a short span of time, so it’s all either stuff that’s been under way for a while or else they’ve joined assigned names to existing functionality to make it look like progress.

Her gripe with the ADLis they keep harping on the platform’s anti-Semitism instead of giving them credit for what she claims is lots of progress.

Fail up. A little shop clerk is held to a higher standard for her performance than these girl bosses.

This is what freaked her out so obviously. GM CEO Mary Barra cancelled last minute (a little industrial action) and so Kara Swisher brought on former Trust & Safety head Yoel Roth, who Elon called a pedophile on his exit and he was subsequently death-threatened. He gave an eloquent and competent account of his own experience and what needs to be fixed. Linda obviously had a Celeste Talbert in Soapdish meltdown and then went on stage to make an utter fool of herself.

But that told her that morning that Yoel would be there and she never expressed any issue with it.
