Elon Musk says he's found "a new CEO" for Twitter. It's said to be NBCU's Linda Yaccarino.

Elon Musk on Thursday tweeted that he's found "a new CEO for X/Twitter," adding, "She will be starting in ~6 weeks!" The billionaire said he'll transition his role to executive chairman and chief technology officer of the social media network.

Musk, who bought Twitter last year, didn't disclose the name of the new CEO, but several media reports say the executive may be Linda Yaccarino, NBCUniversal's head of advertising. On Friday, NBCU announced that Yaccarino has departed the company, effective immediately, although it didn't disclose where she would be going to.

Yaccarino had worked at NBCU for more than a decade, where she first ran cable and digital advertising sales for the media company. In 2020, she became chair of global advertising and partnerships. Her bio on LinkedIn notes that her team has generated more than $100 billion in ad sales since she joined the company in 2011.
