Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of Elon Musk’s X


Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, stepped down from her role on Wednesday morning after two years.

“When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company,” Yaccarino wrote. Yaccarino joined the company just months into Elon Musk’s ownership, leaving her longtime role as chairwoman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal. While Yaccarino was not candid about her reasons for departing her role, she made her announcement mere hours after X’s AI chatbot, Grok, was taken offline after going on an antisemitic tirade.
