Linda Yaccarino has plenty of high expectations for the X platform in 2025 and that includes exponential growth, thanks to Musk’s AI chatbot Grok.
The X CEO shared her thoughts during a keynote interview at the CES 2025 where she predicted ample growth and success for X in 2025. The discussions at the event revolved around her replying to dozens of queries about the platform owned by Musk.
She was introduced into the arena as a trailblazer who represents the spirit of CES and one who has a great career linked to innovation, vision, and determination to succeed. Under this leadership, many predicted X to flourish and transform the entire landscape of social media. As a result, many users can benefit including content creators and different communities. If that’s not enough, the X platform was highlighted as a global newsroom that can be accessed through users’ pockets.
The X CEO was asked to comment on other arch-rivals in the tech industry like Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This includes his decision to remove fact-checkers from Facebook and rely on a Note system that’s driven by the community. That’s when she spoke up about the Meta founder using intelligence to scrap old methods to better serve the community and ensure misinformation was limited on different platforms.
Yaccarino also gave Zuckerberg credit for making sure social media platforms carried on with their responsibility of serving the world with up-to-date and accurate data, similar to how X functions.
For those who might not be aware, Twitter was the first app to roll out Community Notes in 2022. This was right before Musk came into play. When he did take ownership of the company, he introduced fact-checking labels and then chose to ditch those right before the presidential elections.
It’s great that both Musk and Zuckerberg realized that Community Notes were the best decision to employ to ensure bias-free fact-checking was taking place, Yaccarino shared. If that was not enough, the ex-NBC executive also mentioned how these features inspire great behavior in Gen Z and their need today to get the most accurate information out there.
When speaking about recent polls, Yaccarino shared how results do prove that it’s in fact the millennials who are fueling the app’s growth. They’re curious about entertainment, fashion, sports, gaming, and music. These are the areas that they adore and hence most targeted by the advertisers.
