Musk’s decision to appoint Yaccarino as CEO is seen as a sign that he is serious about turning Twitter into a profitable business. Twitter has struggled to make money in recent years, and Musk has said that he wants to make the company more user-friendly and attractive to advertisers.

It remains to be seen whether Yaccarino will be able to turn Twitter around. However, she is a talented executive with a proven track record, and she has the full support of Musk.
