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

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Linda Yaccarino resigned amid challenges including advertiser loss and backlash over antisemitic AI chatbot posts, despite efforts to restore revenue and introduce new features, analysts said.

  • Linda Yaccarino announced on July 9, 2025, that she is stepping down as CEO of Elon Musk's social media platform X after two years.
  • She took the role in June 2023 to help restore advertising revenue amid months of upheaval following Musk's late 2022 $44 billion Twitter acquisition and staff cuts.
  • During her tenure, X struggled with user decline and controversies, including a lawsuit against an ad group and Grok chatbot's antisemitic posts appearing shortly before her departure.
  • Musk thanked Yaccarino for her contributions and noted that her successor “must like pain a lot,” while she expressed pride in the company’s turnaround and new chapter with Musk's AI firm xAI.
  • Yaccarino’s exit reflects ongoing challenges at X amid competition, user losses, and regulatory issues, suggesting continued instability for Musk’s expanding ventures.
