X CEO Linda Yaccarino heaped praise on billionaire owner Elon Musk and said that she is in “awe of his availability”. In an interview at Vox Media's Code conference, Yaccarino said that Musk has been completely supportive. Yaccarino's appearance at the conference marked her 100th day as CEO of the platform.

“I have been there for 12 weeks, and I am still somewhat in awe of his availability to me, so the moments where you think we don’t talk, we talk. His unbelievable availability is stunning. I have never experienced any of that. He has been consistent and completely supportive of me. Now, this is also not my first rodeo I have had. I have reported to a lot of CEOs,” she said.

“You go through highs and lows because you have differences of opinion and a different scope of experiences, but one thing that Elon talks about, or actually the whole team talks about, is the feedback loop that exists,” she added.

Yaccarino, who was appointed as X CEO in May this year, also stated that the feedback loop is incredible, so the opportunity to state an opinion is always encouraged.

"Just think about the nature of the platform. I mean, the feedback loop is incredible, and we always talk about the value of the negative feedback loop, so the opportunity to state an opinion based on your scope of experience and point of view is always encouraged. If you don't have that push and pull, when does innovation happen? When you question what used to exist and question the challenge that lies ahead If you don't debate and there is no friction, how does the next thing happen," she said.
