Elon Musk has named a new chief executive of Twitter, just over six months after his controversial takeover of the social media company. The billionaire said Linda Yaccarino, the former head of advertising at NBC Universal, would oversee business operations at the site, which has been struggling to make money. He said she would start in six weeks. Mr Musk will remain involved as executive chairman and chief technology officer.

埃隆·马斯克在争议声中收购社交媒体公司推特的六个多月后，任命了一位新的首席执行官。这位亿万富翁表示，NBC环球前广告主管琳达·雅卡里诺将负责推特网站的商务运营，推特一直以来都在卯着劲儿地赚钱。马斯克表示新任CEO将在六周内开始工作，而马斯克本人将继续担任执行董事长和首席技术官。

3.oversee business operations 负责商业运营

Mr Musk - who bought the social media platform last year for $44bn - had been under pressure to find someone else to lead the company and refocus his attention on his other businesses, which include electric carmaker Tesla and rocket firm SpaceX. With fewer than 10% of Fortune 500 tech companies headed by women, Ms Yaccarino will become that rare example of a woman at the top of a major tech firm, after rising steadily through the ranks of some of America's biggest media companies.

马斯克去年以440亿美元的价格收购了这家社交媒体平台，他一直面临着寻找其他人来领导公司的压力，找到人选之后他将会把注意力重新集中在他的其他业务上，包括电动汽车制造商特斯拉和火箭公司SpaceX。在财富500强的科技公司中，只有不到10%的公司由女性领导。雅卡里诺曾在美国一些最大的媒体公司中获得过稳步上升，之后，她将在这家大型科技公司（指推特）担任高管，实属罕见。
