Linda Yaccarino's two years at X were about restabilising a platform in crisis
Shortly after Elon Musk bought Twitter and overhauled the microblogging site into a more politicised platform X, he roped in Linda Yaccarino to head its business operations while he focussed on product and technology. She stepped down from this role on July 9 after a little over two years in the role. This comes days after Grok, the chatbot created by Musk's xAI, was embroiled in controversy around its antisemitic comments. This is only the last of a series of controversies Yaccarino waded through during her time at Musk's social media platform. Time of crisis When she joined the recently rebranded X, it was undergoing a major policy shift under Musk's leadership. It was going from a social media app to an "everything app", on track to integrate audio-video calls, job search and long-form was also facing a drop in global usage and a fall in advertising revenue, mainly driven by controversial statements made by Musk. Many brands threatened to (and some did) pull ads from the platform due to concerns over content moderation and brand safety. On the cusp of the generative AI (GenAI) boom, the platform, like other social media platforms, was riddled with misinformation and scrambling to deal with it. Musk had also gotten rid of legacy Twitter features, with profile verification turned into a subscription service. Musk was also in the headlines for suspending journalist accounts, hurting sentiment among brands, and garnering advertiser distrust. What Yaccarino was bringing to the table When he hired Yaccarino, Musk said her strong background in advertising from her time at NBCUniversal, would help prop up what had become a shaky future for X's ad sales. But soon after she took the reins, Musk made matters more difficult for her, publicly rebuking advertisers for boycotting X, telling them to f**k embraced Musk's vision of the "everything app". Under her leadership, X focussed on developing new product offerings such as Community Notes, a user-driven fact-checking feature, and X Money, a financial services initiative slated to launch did not disclose her next move but indicated she will continue to engage with the platform's community. 'I'll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world,' she wrote. 'As always, I'll see you on X.'

'90% dumb followers, 10% wise leaders': Dr A Velumani's sharp take on AI and ChatGPT users
In a time when ChatGPT and other AI tools are reshaping how people write, apply for jobs, pitch for funding, or even craft love letters, Thyrocare founder Dr A Velumani has a blunt—and thought-provoking—take. In a post that's now sparking debate online, the veteran entrepreneur questioned the originality behind the flood of AI-generated communication and offered a sharp distinction between those who use AI wisely and those who blindly follow its cues. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Dr Velumani said that nearly everything he's read over the past six months—ranging from job applications and resignation emails to mentorship and fund-seeking requests—falls into just two buckets: 90% of it, he claimed, is drafted using AI-aided templates, while only 10% feels 'original and live.' According to him, this growing dependency reveals more than just laziness—it signals a widening gap between true thinkers and passive users. 'It makes 90% Dumb, Dumber, followers. It also makes 10% Wise, Wiser. Leaders,' he wrote, offering a stinging critique of AI dependency . For him, AI is less about the tool and more about the mindset behind its usage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Dr Velumani's commentary goes deeper than just numbers. He calls AI a mirror—one that exposes who relies entirely on it and who chooses to think independently. 'What is easy to do is not right to do. What is right to do is not easy to do,' he stated. His message was clear: 'Use your own wisdom—unless it is absent.' — velumania (@velumania) Ending his post with a mantra that feels part warning and part wisdom, Velumani advised the younger generation to 'Focus. Learn. Grow. Enjoy.' In an age where AI can write for you in seconds, his message stands out as a call for conscious thinking and original expression.
