X CEO Linda Yaccarino called owner Elon Musk “candid and profound” in a memo to staff addressing the public interview in which Musk told advertisers to “go fuck yourself.”<\/p>\n

“Elon’s interview was candid and profound,” Yaccarino wrote in a memo to employees of X (formerly Twitter) yesterday. “He shared an unmatched and completely unvarnished perspective and vision for the future. If you haven’t watched it, please take the time to absorb the magnitude and importance of what we’re all a part of.”<\/p>\n

Yaccarino was referring to Musk’s on-stage interview at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit on Wednesday.
