X-Corp, formerly known as Twitter, CEO Linda Yaccarino appeared on CNBC to discuss the new direction of the platform and affirm her complete autonomy to control the decision making within the corporation.
It’s important to note the timing for the first CEO appearance of Yaccarino against the backdrop of CTH financial analysis of the company. According to my calculations X-Corp will run out of working capital, the actual cash needed to pay expenses, in mid to late October; roughly two months from now. At that point Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino will need to go back into the market for more cash.
After asserting her complete unilateral control over all decision making within the company, Yaccarino then went on to discuss how information will be defined according to new operational standards she is helping to implement. The pertinent part of the conversation happens at the 01:16 point of the video segment below. WATCH:

…”if you are going to post something that is illegal or against the law, you’re gone. Zero tolerance. But more importantly, if you are going to post something that is lawful, but it’s awful, you get labeled. You get labeled, you get deamplified, which means it cannot be shared, and it is certainly demonetized. … So, they [advertisers] are protected from the risk of being next to that content.”…
The position essentially seems reasonable, I guess. However, I still don’t trust any of the cattle car valets with DHS authorizations and credentials.

Linda says……. and to “re- imagine” bla bla bla bla. Every time I hear these WEF Marxist use the word “re-imagine” trying to convince people to accept the leftist Commie view, I want to puke. 🤮 Just another Commie buzzword. Remember “re-imagine” the police, etc.
I have never used use TwitX and never will. However, the existence of that garbage affects us all because of the millions people who use the “platform” to push their WEF Great Reset, global Marxist agenda lies. Anyone responding to the 🐮💩 with a “lawful but awful”(in their mind) rebuttal will be labled as a “far right conspiracy theory”, hurtful, racist, and any number of other Commie buzzwords.
They even tried to re-imagine the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Jimmy Fallon tried to convince me.
Nailed it …. my thoughts exactly.
My friends that are on twitter told me to get on it when Musk bought it. I declined the offer because I didn’t trust the guy one bit. And here we are months later the so called “peoples champion of free speech” is going all in the censorship bandwagon that is being rolled out by
the WEF and it’s Schwabian minion’s !! (here in Canada we have the boy wonder Trudeau leading the way for uncle Klaus) LONG LIVE FREE SPEECH !!!
She was obviously using a teleprompter.
Linda & Kamala appear to share the same public speaking coach;-}
On a more serious note: X’s “no reach for awful speech” policy WILL BENEFIT Truth Social.
I don’t believe that it has to do with money. I believe that maintaining and controlling Twitter has no limit in cost, no price is too high to maintain and control. I also believe that Musk is a front man who does not own the money he appears to control.
Twitter and related control and censorship technologies will get much worse. Dissenters will be picked off one by one, in the thousands.
Correct.
Twitter is an intel collection, and opinion shaping tool, and absolutely not a profit motivated enterprise.
It certainly was in the past, and I will assume it still is. I never was on it, so my interest is more abstract.
We also have reason to believe advertisers are the method the Derp State uses to inject funds into their captive medias.
If advertisers come back and make Elon whole, I believe we can safely presume that the government has accepted his grovel.
Yep. Not only in regards to Twitter. Remember that Musk’s Tesla, Starlink & SpaceX is funded by the US government…in the form of tax subsidies & contracts.
It’s not only the US government… CCP anyone?
Once we realize that the US Government gives up to a $10,000 tax credit for each Tesla and his Space X is supported by the US Government, then X is just another Musk-Government interface.
Just leave go run don’t walk and never look back
R.D.
more of the same old crap of censorship…. more reason to switch to gab.com
Exactly – or try gettr, it and CTH are only sites of social media I use.
Yaccarino gets her first MALINFORMATION test > Tucker on Twitter interviews Steve Sund, Capitol Police Chief on the J6 Pelosi COUP > https://youtu.be/bY7Tr6k0RI
Removed?
Yup, its gone from that address but its still up on Twitter.
If you don’t want to go there you can watch it via https://www.zerohedge.com/political/it-was-pelosi-former-capitol-police-chief-reveals-set-behind-january-6
Brilliant interview! Must watch. Tucker asks a few leading questions but pretty much gives Sund free rein. Save it before it’s disappeared.
They’re going to censor us to keep and grow their advertising revenue. Woke corporations with woke CEOs and boards will determine what is awful speech.
“[W]hich means it cannot be shared[.]”
That part is not okay. That is not limiting the incidental reach of free speech, that is effectively silencing speech. We’ve seen Elon on numerous occasions reprimand his employees for contravening his commitment to free speech before — some even quit because of it — and he needs to fix this one quick. In my eyes, this is his first real test since hiring Yaccarino.
Allowing advertisers to choose not to display their ads next to content they don’t like makes sense, even if it means the truth doesn’t get monetized. Brands that have the guts to display their ads next to difficult truth will be rewarded for it. But preventing users from sharing ideas that someone deemed “awful” is a violation of free speech. If it’s legal, it must be shareable.
“Lawful but awful” Did she come up with that on her own? She seems quite proud of it.
“Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach”. I could be wrong, but I don’t think our Founders meant we could say whatever we wanted as long as nobody heard us say it.
“If it’s legal, it must be shareable.”
That’s clever and catchy.
I would love to see that trending on Twitter.
The mirror side of this issue is who they consider to be the opposite of lawful+awful.
Has anyone else been seeing an awful lot of Bill Mitchell in their feed? I unfollowed him, a few months ago but I’m still seeing a lot of his posts.
He turned on Trump for Ron and now is visible again on the platform. Tons of high profile pro Trump users are still shadowbanned and throttled.
So who is the arbiter of what is “awful”?
Will it be the same person who determined what was “disinformation” before Elon came along?
She claimed in the video they were using brand new systems they just created.
Can’t imagine how they would substantially differ from the old ways.
Don’t use Twitter X whatever never have never will. Won’t AI replace this C.E.O. and her fascist WEF content moderators? Gone fully woke, go fully broke.
I give SD credit for going over to that cesspool trying to spread the truth, but I never could get myself to join in that “conversation” with millions of people I don’t know and don’t want to know. Facebook was bad enough.
Who decides ‘Awful’.
You are not permitted to ask that question. It rhymes with lawful so that’s why they used it.
Get with the program.
(I hope my tone does not come off as disrespectful to you. I am in a sarcastic mood today.)
Ultimately, it’s her job.
As an aside…surely Yaccarino can afford a better hairdresser…..
Put me down as a misogynist, if you will, but that is one unlikable woman.
I’m a woman and I’m finding it hard to ‘like’ women; their exemplary behavior has left nothing for me to desire nor look up to.
Hard to like someone who is WEF indoctrinated! As soon as Musk said this lady was coming in…well, come on man. WET? Elon…I thought you were helping us in this March, now it seems you have caved. I still will not go to TwitX.
Everyone does it now.
Seems like the same ole same ole to me. Isn’t what she just said nothing but shadow banning? Being able to post without realizing its not going to be shared?
Elon is definitely not a genius in all sectors!
Hiring the irritating, bloviating Yaccarino and giving her censorship autonomy over his X Corp sinkhole proves it. Her hubris, imperiousness and self aggrandizement are obvious.
Supercilious Yaccarino would rate my opinionated comment above to be “awful and hateful” and worthy of removal but the censorship powers she can now arbitrarily yield over the free speech of millions of voluntary X contributors is something she is proud to brag about in a so called 1st Amendment country. Repeatedly claiming that 99% of contributors will not be affected by her imperious policies is false unless only the easily swayed and submissive followers of Yaccarino remain and all others leave in protest.
Her unctuous interview and the willing acceptance of addicted contributors is a how a great country can become a banana republic. It is already heading in that direction thanks to the various Biden handlers.. Sometimes it is one chip at a time and this is a big chip that many will timidly accept.
Someone has yanked their chain HARD!!! They are an NGO arm of the Deep State now…
She is a perfect representation of ‘women’ and their goals at this time in history; IMHO.
My view of ‘women’ has become very focused and I’m not liking what I’m seeing so clear.
Your ‘opinionated comment’ was a perfect use of adjectives I’ve been assigning to women in general. AND your verb ‘giving’ is my most frustrating verb when it comes to women. ‘Giving’ women becomes a ‘right’ to them; their decision on abortion is my prime example. ‘Giving’ or bestowing gets shaded in my picture.
The problem is:
What is “awful”?
It’s subjective.
Therein lies the basis for political censorship.
But all this is psyop and limited hangout, as the tectonic geopolitical shift continues its slow grind:
Sinking the US hegemony and raising the new hegemony.
These alliterative soundbites are boring, but get the message out as intended — X censors.
Would you permit this woman to control the flow valve on your oxygen tent?
Noticed yesterday day that there are now ads (Promoted Tweet) between every 3-4 posts.
They sure got the name right on this B. She could yak your legs off and then start on your arms.
Buyers Beware.
P.S. And isn’t it so cute she gets an interview with her former employer!
Control of the ‘language’ is essential for control of minds; propaganda wins wars and is the most corrupting and controlling influence since civilizations began.
Propaganda wins wars because it starts them in the first place.
When the truth is hidden behind false meanings, and ‘new’ thinking you can only have propaganda presented to the people; wonder why my father said don’t ever believe what you read in the paper until ‘you’ verify – read a book. Newspapers have been replaced with more ‘fun’ things, for more ease with reaching the public; did you ever wonder why parents used to limit the time you could watch TV or play the radio or the stereo??
Wonder why they told you to go outside, play with friends – isolation with ‘entertainment’ is not good for the soul. If you were lucky enough to go to the movies, you went with friends. Isolation is another war tactic. Teenage suicide is at tragic numbers.
I’ve never forgotten being a 6-7 yr old staying all night at Grandma’s house.
Was reading “The Readers Digest” & came upon this warning: Be careful what you read, you may die from a misprint.
Have taken that to heart the whole of my life.
It goes back to Bill Clinton and his retort while under oath in his deposition, he said: “It all depends on what the definition of IS, is.”
In this case it ALL depends on what Their (Xs) definition of awful is.
I don’t give them the benefit of the doubt. We’ve seen what they do. Actions speak louder than words and we see there actions everyday. Time will smoke these greasy bastards out and they will show their real colors.
And shadow banning is back!
Don’t ya just love the word “de-amplified” My god its a testimonial that we have the biggest and loudest platform on the planet. Yeah right. Then why are you burning through cash?
Who within the twitter organization judges or is qualified to determine, “But more importantly, if you are going to post something that is lawful, but it’s awful, you get labeled. You get labeled, you get deamplified, which means it cannot be shared…” We are back with Jack where we started with all this censoring and canceling…
The problem here is…they get to be the judge as to “What is awful.” Because let’s face it, from the left…everything DJT does, says, thinks, or is….IS AWFUL. And by extension…so are we. So I guess it comes down to what the meaning of is…is! For those of you who are old enough and remember the Clinton years….This was Bill’s testimony under oath during the Monica Lewinsky fiasco. Parsing words, changing meanings and getting he results you want. So, is this an illusion to try to make us all ‘feel good about X…and that things have changed…when behind the scenes….nothing has really changed? I do not trust….still not on the platform and will probably never go on.
The way she talks and takes pauses reminds me of Obama. Also, the way she keeps looking down, she’s either got a teleprompter or it’s an odd mannerism.
I left twatter the day they banned Trump.
I’ve never even considered going back, and I never will.
Twitter/X is just a tower of babel.
Individuals who post opinions are mostly full of themselves and are desperately looking for confirmation.
I have a relative who posts to politicians, as if they give a crap about what he says and opines. Those posts are probably never even seen by the intended recipient.
Very sad…
The 1st Amendment allows “awful”.
What a load of BS from this lady.
Here is some background and insight on my 2nd Twitter banning. It may provide some clues for others. I was banned from 2018 until May 2023 when I was allowed to open a new Twitter 2.0 account [also with my real name] with zero followers. It doubled every month until August, and when I was at 4,500 followers I was banned again. No reason is ever given other than a vague boilerplate “violating Twitter rules.” IMHO it’s hard for them to ban conservatives with over 100K followers because they get mutual support from the other heavy hitters. But a Matt Bracken, finally unbanned and starting all over, at 4,500 followers and doubling every month, they can disappear me without a trace.
I’m still on Gab and Gettr. Just for a comparison, I have 19.9K followers on Gab, where I am not throttled. https://gab.com/Matt_Bracken
“Lawful but awful.” And I guess this self-righteous, contemptible lizard-lady is the one who gets to decide for us what constitutes “awful”.
Let me guess. Anything with the words and/or phrases of “stolen election”, “President Trump”, or “MAGA” are already marked as awful.
Disgustingly weak and pathetic.
I think it was awful that the 2020 election was stolen and I will not take it my post down.
Problem is, she and the leftist multinational corporations decide what’s considered ‘awful’. That means conservatives, Christians, pro-lifers, anti-Pharma people will be silenced.
Elon is the biggest welfare queen EVER. What did people expect.
Notice he couldn’t get the same welfare in South Africa or Canada.
He came to the wealthiest, corrupt country on the planet to become the great “queen.”
Boy, this Goil, is a killer robot. Nazi germany uber alles. What a frightening person.
exactly exactly is “lawful, but it’s awful”? And who makes the decision? Human libtard… or AI libtard?
She’s so nervous her voice is constantly on the verge of cracking.
elon is such a liar. He’s antichrist as well…. I’m telling you, he’s a lying waiting snake in the grass.
It’s awful that we have so many worthless idiots in DC who IMO have sold their soul and sold out America and Americans for money and power while ignoring the real crimes happening within America such as money laundering, sex trafficking, illegal immigration, by passing parents to gain control of children, drug trafficking, double standard of the law, election interference, destruction of 1st amendment and so much more.
Thats awful but it is the truth!
So I guess I’m labeled now.
Anything that gets or prods people to critically think, must be controlled.
F**k off twat
a Poet and she know it. She reminds a lot of Obama. Someone already convinced of their income but not of their outcome.
Just walk away from all the big system life control machinery and build an independent life for yourself and loved ones, neighbors and friends. Nobody needs TwitX to live a good life. In fact nobody needs to be glued to their flatscreen 12 hours a day. It seems to me that in the 72 years I have spent on the planet the first 60 were the best. By the time BHO arrived on the scene freedom and liberty had been sliding downward until now we are in a free fall. So you young folks it will be up to you to decide whether you want to be ‘safe’ or free. My parents’ generation had the same choice and took the hard path against Bolsheviks, Fascists and Nazis (pardon me for repeating myself). The 20th century was one of evil on a biblical scale whereby many millions of citizens were killed by their own governments. They bought us 60 years of relative peace and tranquility but here we are again. The financial dictators are at it again and this time they are coming for the children first. Wake up before it is too late.
Stab, stab, stab. Shut up, I am NOT stabbing you. Stab, stab, stab.
“X” marks the spot
Why would I spend my time posting thoughts that others can throttle if they think it is lawful but awful? My content helps their network effects. Their only value to me is providing a platform to put my awful thoughts in front of others.
I’ve said all along Elon needed Twitter as a component for his ultimate goal, everyone connected thru AI, where if everybody knows your secrets there are no secrets. I can see this mind melding Yoda helping him get there.
