The poop emoji may be gone, but based on a new Wall Street Journal report published Thursday, there’s still a bit of a smell about the way that Elon Musk operates his social media platform X, previously known as Twitter. The billionaire brought in a respected media executive Linda Yaccarino to take over the CEO role of Twitter in May, but former staffers and others told the Journal that Musk is still stepping on her toes. Managers still seek Musk’s approval for major engineering decisions, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the process. Yaccarino and Musk are proving to have different tactics in addressing some of those advertisers’ concerns. Yaccarino has disputed suggestions that she’s not in charge, claiming she has “autonomy” in her role.
