Bill George, an \u2062executive fellow at Harvard \u2062Business School, recently discussed\u200b the &#8220;big mistake&#8221; he believes \u200bMusk \u2062made in an interview with CNBC. With over two decades of studying leadership, George&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/musk-slammed-by-harvard-leadership-expert-i-dont-think-he-understands-social-media\/\" title=\"Harvard leadership expert criticizes Musk: 'He lacks social media understanding'\">expertise lends weight<\/a> to his critique.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he understands social media.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;If you had to write a case study\u2062 on an example of a really poor\u2062 takeover of an \u200corganization, \u2064Elon \u200cMusk&#8217;s \u2064takeover of Twitter\u2063 would fit that perfectly well,&#8221; George told the outlet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s rebranding of the platform is a significant aspect of George&#8217;s criticism. From\u2062 changing its name to \u200cincorporating \u200bthe letter &#8220;X&#8221; \u2064in \u2063the logo, Musk&#8217;s influence is evident. The letter &#8220;X&#8221; is a prominent feature in many of Musk&#8217;s\u200b other successful ventures, such as the Tesla Model X electric\u200b sedan and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thiel-capital-coo-blake-masters-announces-run-for-arizona-senate\/\" title=\"Thiel Capital COO Blake Masters Announces Run For Arizona Senate\">space exploration company<\/a>, \u200cSpaceX. \u2062Even his \u200bbeginnings with Paypal started with the website X.com.<\/p>\n<p>Under Musk&#8217;s leadership, advertising \u2063on the platform has\u200b declined. In an effort to\u200c cut costs, \u200dMusk laid off a significant number of employees \u200cand began charging for \u2062verified accounts on X. Linda Yaccarino, the former \u2062head of advertising at NBCUniversal, was hired to replace Musk as CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Musk&#8217;s commitment \u2062to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/spotify-doesnt-renew-the-obamas-podcast\/\" title=\"Spotify Doesn\u2019t Renew the Obamas\u2019 Podcast\">allowing free speech<\/a> on the platform, he also implemented the Community Notes feature. This feature allows approved\u2064 contributors\u200c to fact-check tweets and provide additional context. Musk&#8217;s platform \u200bX has seen a surge in\u2064 users, reaching a new\u2064 monthly high \u200bof over 541,000,000.<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s involvement in politics is also noteworthy. He recently hosted Vivek Ramaswamy, the third presidential candidate for 2024, in a Spaces conversation. Spaces enable livestream interviews with multiple users at once. Musk&#8217;s influence on X continues to shape its trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>While Musk&#8217;s\u200b takeover of X\u2063 has garnered attention, it has also faced criticism from experts like\u2063 Bill George. \u2062Only time will tell how Musk&#8217;s leadership will impact the platform in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM\u2064 THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvard leadership expert, Bill George, criticized Elon Musk&#8217;s takeover of X (formerly Twitter), calling it a &#8220;big mistake.&#8221; In an interview with CNBC, George, an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, shared his insights based on over two decades of studying leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1985905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1985904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1985904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1985904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1985904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1985905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1985904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1985904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1985904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
