Linda Yaccarino replaces Elon Musk as Twitter boss

 


 

 

 Late last week, reports emerged that Twitter’s second head of trust and safety under owner Mr Musk had resigned.

Ella Irwin took the post when previous head Yoel Roth left in November 2022 – a month after Mr Musk took over the company.

The head of trust and safety is tasked with content moderation, a topic which has come under the spotlight since Mr Musk’s takeover of the firm.

 

The reason for Ms Irwin’s resignation is unclear. However, it came a day after Mr Musk publicly criticised a content moderation decision made at Twitter.

Since buying Twitter for $44bn (£35.4bn), Mr Musk had been under pressure to find someone else to lead the firm and refocus his attention on his other businesses, which include electric carmaker Tesla and rocket firm SpaceX.

He will continue as Twitter’s executive chairman and chief technology officer.
