MUSK Picks WEF Leader For CEO Of Twitter · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

• 0:00
  So Elon Musk has picked somebody to replace him as CEO of Twitter. And
• 0:05
  there are some voices on Twitter now that are getting pretty apocalyptic, and this
• 0:08
  is going to ruin it, and all the progress that's been made is going
• 0:11
  to be destroyed, and it's going to go back to how it was before.
• 0:15
  And I'm personally not willing to go there quite yet, although this is
• 0:18
  concerning, and why is it concerning? What let's read the headline here,
• 0:22
  Musk draws backlash for picking World Economic Forum. Let me just repeat that World
• 0:28
  Economic Forum leader supporter of content moderation to run Twitter. So he has picked
• 0:35
  this advertising executive, Linda Yacarino, to replace him, and she was with
• 0:41
  NBCUniversal and she was the company's chair of Global Advertising and Partnerships for more than
• 0:47
  a decade, so global advertising. Obviously, Elon is very interested in advertising
• 0:53
  on Twitter. That's obviously a huge revenue stream and something that's taken a bit
• 0:56
  of a hit. So perhaps what he's doing here is picking somebody that he
• 1:00
  thinks will appeal to the advertisers and give large corporations an excuse to bring their
• 1:04
  advertising back to Twitter. Because she seems to have a lot of the FeAs
• 1:08
  that they at least pretend to care about, like being involved in the World
• 1:12
  Economic Forum, which personally I don't like. I'm not very comfortable with the
• 1:17
  guys who want me to eat bugs and not have a car and have nothing
• 1:21
  and be happy about it. Yeah, and I'm guessing none of that's going
• 1:23
  to apply to the people running the World Economic Forum. They're not going to
• 1:27
  be eating bugs. They're going to have cars. They're gonna have stuff and
• 1:30
  be happy. But anyway, she is the chairman of the World Economic Forum's
• 1:34
  Task Force on Future of Work and sits on the WEF's Media, Entertainment and
• 1:40
  Culture Industry Governor's Steering Committee. And I don't know what that is, but
• 1:45
  it sounds evil, doesn't It looks like she got an award from something called
• 1:49
  Global Mind. Again, that doesn't sound like something that dreamt up by a
• 1:52
  Bond villain at all, does it. But anyway, she won an Inclusive
• 1:56
  Leader Award from them. She says more diversity equals better business. Isn't it
• 2:00
  kind of established now at this point that actually that's not true. Merit equals
• 2:06
  better business, or just sanity equals better business. Okay, here's they're talking
• 2:12
  to Elon Musk, will you commit to be a little more specific and not
• 2:17
  tweet after three am? People in this room would would like to see that
• 2:22
  will make them fear more to tweet. This is exactly the opposite of what
• 2:27
  I want to hear chastising Elon Musk for texting after three am, and the
• 2:32
  people in the room would agree, Yeah, we don't give a shit about
• 2:36
  the people in the room. Those are the wrong people. Those are the
• 2:39
  wrong people to ask. That's not the user base of Twitter. Hey,
• 2:44
  this isn't giving me great confidence here to less after three am, But I
• 2:49
  mean it is important that you know. I mean, if I would say
• 2:53
  yes, you can influence me, that would be wrong. That would be
• 2:57
  very wrong. That would be a diminishment of freedom of speech. But I
• 3:00
  want to be specific about influencing. It's more of an open feedback loop for
• 3:07
  the advertising experts in this room to help develop Twitter into a place where they
• 3:15
  will be excited about investing more money, product development, add safety, content
• 3:21
  moderation. That's what the influence is. Content moderation for the people in this
• 3:25
  room. The advertising experts. Fuck the advertising experts. You know where they
• 3:30
  will go. They will go where the most eyes are. That's the place
• 3:34
  they can make the money. Eventually they will go there. This is just
• 3:38
  short term thinking here. Folding to these people right now is exactly the wrong
• 3:43
  thing to do. Just give it a bit of time. They'll come crawling
• 3:46
  back, because at the end of the day, they've got lifestyles to maintain,
• 3:51
  they've got jobs to keep. And Elon's answer here is the right answer.
• 3:54
  But I mean it is important that you know. I mean, if
• 3:58
  I would say yes, you can, that would be wrong. That would
• 4:01
  be very wrong. That would be a diminishment of freedom of speech. But
• 4:05
  I want to beat That's exactly the right answer there. Maybe he's just brought
• 4:10
  her in to be like play a straight man to him. That almost felt
• 4:13
  like she was feeding him a line there so he could make his point.
• 4:15
  Maybe this is a bit of four D chess. I'm not totally confident.
• 4:19
  I gotta be honest, and a lot of people are not very confident.
• 4:24
  Here's that, Jackson Hinkel. We're all getting banned again at Lucradkowski and here
• 4:29
  comes the shadow bands again. And Elon must responded to this. He said
• 4:32
  that will not be the case. Well, I guess we'll see again I'm
• 4:36
  not willing to write off Twitter yet. I'd like new Twitter. I like
• 4:41
  Twitter two point though. I think it's great. I hope it stays like
• 4:44
  this, And I find it hard to believe that Elon went through everything he's
• 4:47
  gone through since he bought the company to then just turn it back into the
• 4:50
  old version. I just wonder that if he takes his eye off the ball
• 4:55
  and leaves it in the hands of, you know, wef people, for
• 4:59
  God's sakes, I just feel like they're immediately going to try and ruin the
• 5:01
  whole thing. So I'm hoping for the best here, but I'm going to
• 5:04
  make a prediction. I'm going to predict that this ends up backfiring on him
• 5:08
  and he ends up having to fire her because she ends up not being very
• 5:12
  concerned with free speech at all, ends up being exactly what she looks like,
• 5:15
  which is a woke leftist two doesn't want him to make any uncomfortable tweets
• 5:19
  after three am anymore. Anyway, Please subscribe, like and share. Sharing
• 5:24
  really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you
• 5:26
  next time.
