The buzz out of the Code Conference this week is, naturally, all about the disastrous performance of X / Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, who closed out the two-day affair in spectacular fashion. Vox’s Peter Kafka, who has been going to the conference since it started in 2008, called it “the weirdest session I’ve ever seen.” If I had to sum up the vibe as everyone trickled off to dinner afterward, it would be stunned disbelief. As for Yaccarino, she immediately fled the premises with her six-person security detail.

    She’s a scapegoat for money. Elon will blame her for any failings when he finally cuts ties. She will then land safely with a golden parachute.

      She is the Tom Wambsgans of the industry. If she dies eating shit for Elon, another billionaire will gladly resurrect her and offer her even more money to eat more shit because she did the job so well the first time.
