X CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down after two years


One of Elon Musk's biggest cheerleaders and the head of X is moving on.

She posted the news, naturally, on X, saying "I’m immensely grateful to [Elon Musk] for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App." She's also been really mad about a report from a watchdog group that caused a major advertiser pullback on the platform a few years ago, claiming somehow that companies deciding not to run ads on a toxic platform amounted to a "free speech" issue. Later in the saga, X sued advertisers and companies including Mars, Unilever and CVS Health for an "illegal boycott," another example of her staunch commitment to free speech.
