X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down After 2 Years Leading Elon Musk’s Platform
Yaccarino says she is "immensely grateful" to Musk for "entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech"
X CEO Linda Yaccarino on Wednesday announced she is stepping down after leading the platform owned by Elon Musk for a little more than two years.
“I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App,” Yaccarino posted on X. “I’m incredibly proud of the X team – the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.”

Yaccarino was named the chief executive of X in June 2023, less than a year after Musk bought the platform formerly known as Twitter. She joined X after leaving NBCUniversal, where she was the chairman of global advertising and partnerships.
Her exit comes a day after Grok, X’s artificial intelligence model, went haywire and started posting antisemitic and pro-Hitler responses.
