The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.
There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.
Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

This just isn’t how life works in reality, and (no offense, but) unfortunately it’s bullshit anti-union propaganda that you’re pushing whether you realize it or not.
I am in a highly specialized STEM field, and I’m in a union, and that union has been nothing but amazing for myself and my colleagues. In fact, we are in the process of negotiating a great new contract that would never have even been on the table sans union.
Without collective bargaining, everyone is much worse off. You just take what contract they give you or walk. Great way to build a career. Don’t buy the hyper-individualist, “they’ll all just bring you down,” bullshit rhetoric.
There’s a reason management is (nearly) always dead set against it, to the point where they’ll spend millions convincing working class folks to vote against their interests, and it isn’t out of the kindness of their hearts.
I agree, I would rather have a Union.
