  1. My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling this year. I have approximately $600k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth.

  2. She must be aligned with his values

  3. Congrats to Musk for destroying over half of Twitter's value.

  4. Linda Yaccarino must be the world's biggest sell-out. Spurn Twitter utterly!

  5. NBC is woke channel… pro Biden … Yaccarino must be woke also … i dont trust anything from the left anymore

  6. Is she Jewish?!?!?

  7. Musk finally steps down from Twitter CEO months after Twitter users and shareholders said they wanted him ousted. Maybe Twitter will now stop promoting right-wing propaganda. I guess we'll have to wait a few months more…

  8. I love Twitter

    I love Roasting weirdos like yall

    What youtube and twitter has taught me how to disrespect ppl politely 🤣 with all the infringement on my speech hahaha

  9. Twitter is a Bathroom Wall!

  10. Good Luck! You work for a 🤡

  11. A snakelike move by Musk.
    He chooses an establishment disinformation specialist. 🤨

  12. This is the equivalent of having the best deck chairs on the Titanic.

  13. Hope she can dig twitter out of the cesspool it has been in almost from the beginning.

  14. She is not to be trusted, for she is just another puppet for the WEF psychopaths.

  15. Should have hired Hillary Clinton

  16. 👍.I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it. I need guidance on what investments to make.

  17. I think people need to remember, your view of Elon is probably through the filter of Mainstream media. He’s not as bad as people think. Not perfect by any means. But, keep in mind the sources your getting your news through before you judge.

  18. In future news… Twitter brings back "hate speech" policies and the site goes back on life support within a couple of years.

  19. Ooh I'm so excited musk is not going nowhere but to the nearest monitor .like ole Rupert

  20. Advertisers don't want their ads running above, below, or between racist posts. So Elon letting the offenders back to reoffend. Hasn't made advertisers want to run ads. Hence his attempt at revenue generating through subscription. This move proves it hasn't worked. He wants to sell. But needs a return on value. Linda's job will be to right that ship. While Elon gets to wash his hands of any changes that will undoubtedly come to make Advertisers come back.

  21. I love you Linda lol
    Said no Juan ever lol

  22. Doesn't matter since I'm sure the site will continue to cater to Elon's rightwing tendencies. I had an account on Twitter for several years before Musk took it over; I really don't miss Twitter at all because it's always been kinda lame.

  23. Well if Elon handpicked her she must be…meh.

  24. Cue card: clap and whistle

  25. I may open a Twitter account to see the fallout. Nothing surprises me about what Elon Musk will do next???

  26. Meh. 

    Guess it's over, call it a day
    Sorry that it had to end this way
    No reason to pretend
    We knew it had to end some day, this way
    Yes, it's over, the kids are gone
    What's the use of tryin' to hang on?
    Somewhere we lost the key
    So little left for you and me and it's clear to see
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to lie again with you
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to try again with you
    We're in the middle of ending something that we knew
    It's over
    Oh, it was over
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to ever try again
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, let's end it being friends
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, we knew it had to end
    Ah, it's over
    It's over
    Yes, it's over, the chips are down (whoa)
    Nearly all our bridges tumbled down
    Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened-eye
    It's over (It's over)
    It's over
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to ever try again
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, let's end it being friends
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, we knew it had to end
    And it's over
    And it's over
    And it's over
    Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to ever try again

  27. Oh the MAGA cries of despair will be hilarious.😆🤣🤣

  28. Does she love white supremacy and hate LGBTQ? If not she is going to ruin the thriving company Musk has been building.

  29. Twitter has become a vile spewage of hate
