In a shock move, Disney ousted Bob Chapek as chief executive after just 33 months in the job, and brought back Bob Iger, the previous CEO, to replace him.

令人震惊的是,迪士尼解除了上任仅33个月的首席执行官鲍勃·查佩克的职务,并让其前任首席执行官鲍勃·伊格尔接任了他的职务。

Senior executives lost confidence in Mr Chapek’s leadership, which came to a head when the latest quarterly earnings revealed rising losses at Disney+, the company’s premium streaming service.

高管们对查佩克的领导力失去了信心,当最新季度财报显示该公司的高端流媒体服务迪士尼+的亏损不断上升时,这种不信任达到了顶点。

Mr Chapek also earned the ire of the creators of Disney’s content when he restructured the business around a policy of streaming first, taking creative control out of their hands.

查佩克还激怒了迪士尼内容的创作者,当时他围绕流媒体优先的策略重组了迪士尼业务,将创作控制权从他们手中夺走。

Mr Iger led Disney for 15 years during a period of growth, when it took over Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel studios.

伊格尔领导迪士尼长达15年之久,在这个发展期间,迪士尼接管了皮克斯动画工作室、卢卡斯影业和漫威影业。

马斯克在接管公司后不久就推出了这项收费服务,这导致了大量冒充名人和企业的账户,比如有一个假冒百事可乐的账户,在推特上发帖称可口可乐才是更好的饮料。

Meanwhile, hundreds more workers were reported to have left Twitter after Mr Musk imposed a deadline to sign up to “long hours at high intensity”.
