New Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino released her first statement on Saturday about taking over at the company while the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, prepares to shift his role to executive chairman and chief technology officer.

Yaccarino posted her statement in response to Musk’s tweet on Friday announcing her hiring.

“I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!” Musk tweeted. “@LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.”

Yaccarino responded: “Thank you @elonmusk ! I’ve long been inspired by your vision to create a brighter future. I’m excited to help bring this vision to Twitter and transform this business together!”

“I see I have some new followers????…???? I’m not as prolific as @elonmusk (yet!), but I’m just as committed to the future of this platform,” she continued. “Your feedback is VITAL to that future. I’m here for all of it. Let’s keep the conversation going and build Twitter 2.0 together!”
