> X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic executives, according to people with knowledge of those talks. Interpublic leaders interpreted the communications from X as reminders that the recently announced $13 billion deal to merge Interpublic with rival Omnicom Group could be torpedoed, or at least slowed down, by the Trump administration, given Musk’s powerful role in the federal government, some of the people said.
Thank you for highlighting this, skipped this article earlier because the vague headline made it sound like it was about a routine ad deal negotiation.
"seemed like similar, according too, interpreted the, as reminders, or at least, some of the people said"
thats damn damning, got em now!
but perhaps, ya know, ur giving too much up, and they will then be able to develop a counter strategy, so just saying, it might be better to keep this strategic level information on a strict need to know basis, somewhere private and secure!
