In one of her initial tweets, Yaccarino mentioned being inspired by Elon Musk, who she believes has transformed space exploration and electric vehicles. Similarly, she intends to revolutionize the global communication arena, enabling people to freely discuss important topics.

Elon Musk, who took over as the chairman of Twitter last year, has appointed Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO. Musk will continue to be involved with the company as the Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer.

Yaccarino believes that Twitter has the potential to bridge divides, form new partnerships, celebrate diverse voices, and collaboratively build something that can change the world.

She sees Twitter as a platform that will be rebuilt from scratch to maximize accessibility for users. Her future plans for the platform involve actively involving people in the process of building Twitter 2.0 together.

Linda Yaccarino's appointment as the new CEO was officially announced by Elon Musk on May 12, with Musk welcoming her on Twitter and briefly mentioning her responsibilities in handling the business operations while he focuses on new technologies and product design.
