In a lighthearted moment that delighted Twitter users, renowned singer Dionne Warwick playfully claimed that she would be taking over as the CEO of Twitter.

The jest came shortly before Elon Musk, the current CEO, announced the appointment of former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino as the platform's next CEO.

Musk took to Twitter on Friday to welcome Yaccarino to her new role, stating:

"I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter. @LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology."
"Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app."

You can see Musk's tweet below.

Yaccarino's appointment comes at a time when Twitter has been experiencing significant turmoil, including mass resignations and companies pausing their advertising efforts, following Musk's acquisition of the platform in October.

With her 11-year tenure at NBC Universal, where she held the position of chairman of global advertising and partnerships, Yaccarino brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Her resignation from NBC Universal was announced earlier on the same Friday.

But before Musk unveiled Yaccarino as the incoming CEO, Warwick humorously declared herself as the platform's next CEO, joking that the transition "had been in the works for months."

You can see her tweet below.

Warwick's fans were all about it and couldn't help but share their thoughts.







Despite her playful claim, Warwick revealed that she isn't particularly fond of Twitter itself. In fact, she recently disclosed that she has joined Bluesky, a rival platform to Twitter.

While she may not be taking on the role of CEO, Warwick's presence on social media continues to captivate audiences.

In the meantime, as Twitter transitions under new leadership, the platform's users eagerly await the future direction and developments that Yaccarino's tenure will bring.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
