The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.

There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.

Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

I disagree. There is much about it that is very surprising, which is why we're still talking about it. Maybe he meant "There's very little that people should be surprised about, because this shit has been going on for a year now, and it just keeps getting dumber and dumber."

which Yaccarino tweeted about on Wednesday.

Are we still calling it that? Wouldn't she have Xed it?

It's crazy that they had a brand so strong that the name of the company is the word for the thing that the company does and this clown decided to change it.

It would be like Kleenex or Band-Aid changing their name.
