X's CEO is out after failing at basically everything she claimed she wanted

It’s complied with government requests to take down content, such as an order to block accounts and posts from Turkey(which the platform said it would “ continue to object in court ”) — which wasn’t a new practice for Twitter, but doesn’t exactly demonstrate a fresh dedication to free speech. According to an eMarketer exec at the time, the increased ad spending is partially due to Musk’s close relationship with the Trump administration — it’s a lot easier to keep advertisers when the FTC can force companies to work with you. Yaccarino helmed X during a flood of graphic Taylor Swift AI fakes early last year; one post got more than 45 million views and was live for around 17 hours before the user was suspended.
