X CEO Linda Yaccarino drops out of the WSJ Tech Live conference::X CEO Linda Yaccarino has canceled her appearance at the Wall Street Journal Tech Live conference, citing the war in Israel and her need to “remain fully focused on X platform safety.”
Even after she gets fired she will always be the x CEO of Twitter.
Formerly known as CEO of X, formerly Twitter
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The “global crisis” in question is almost certainly a reference to the war in Israel, which a resulted in a flood of horrific videos being posted to X.

Many of the employees who focused on content moderation (known in the industry as “trust and safety”) lost their jobs last year, CNN reports.
Recently, the artist formerly known as Twitter removed headlines from link cards, instead showing only the lead image of the article.
Yaccarino also told the banks that X / Twitter was considering subscription tiers that would vary the number of ads shown to users.
Yaccarino previously said at the Code Conference that 90 percent of advertisers are back on the platform, although they appear to be spending less than before, Bloomberg reported, also citing an anonymous source.

Guys, stop making fun of her! She is singlehandedly preventing jihad! Leave Linda alone!

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.
