Are you really still ahead? Yes, but not above Elon Musk. The same businesswoman, linked to the world of advertising, was embarrassed at a convention, accidentally revealing that the South African tycoon continues to make all the company’s decisions.
We are not even close to criticizing Linda Yaccarino, who surely has the ability to run any company. The problem here is that she seems to be trapped in a dictatorship in which you have to do whatever Elon Musk says.
Linda participated in the Code Conference as one of the guests, obviously due to her role in one of the most important social networks in the world.
