Linda Yaccarino is the CEO of X. If she no longer has that title on April 13, 2024, this market will resolve to NO. Otherwise, it will resolve to YES.
@KevinRoose18ac Is there a particular reason you choose April 13th? I ask because that's the anniversary of Homestuck (which is well-known if you know the comic.)
@nottelling2ccc I think it was a certain amount of time after they aired their podcast, hard fork. Could be wrong though
Question if she’ll resign:

She should resign already.
@AleynaDogan I think she makes pretty good money for being an empty suit with very little responsibilities besides being loyal to Elon Musk. I wouldn't resign if I was her.
@LukasTilmann she was hired for specifically having connections and experience with advertisers. With them fleeing the site because of Elon and hate speech I think she has a really hard job 😀

It seems Elon has made up his mind to go to war with advertisers. In that state of the world, there is little purpose in having a CEO like Linda Yaccarino.
NO
Linda Yaccarino has a wealth of experience in media industry and understands the dynamics of the industry too well to get fired so soon into her tenure. Her shake-up of the executive team shows that she is in-charge. "X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced a series of changes to her executive team, including a shakeup to the company’s sales organization and a new head of content."(The Verge)
Additionally, she had a big say in changing the name of the company from "twitter" to "X". This shows that she has the complete understanding of the biggest shareholder of the company and knows that she is making a bet for the long term with the app not just being a social media platform but also a transaction platform. "The rebrand represented really a liberation from Twitter," she said. "A liberation that allowed us to evolve past a legacy mindset and thinking. And to reimagine how everyone, how everyone on Spaces who's listening, everybody who's watching around the world. It's going to change how we congregate, how we entertain, how we transact all in one platform."(CNBC)
