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

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Linda Yaccarino leaves after two years as X CEO amid advertiser losses and backlash over antisemitic posts by Grok AI chatbot, with ad revenue still half of 2021 levels.

  • Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X , announced her immediate resignation on Wednesday after two years running Elon Musk's social media platform.
  • Yaccarino took the CEO role in June 2023 to restore advertiser confidence amid months of upheaval after Musk's late 2022 $44 billion Twitter acquisition and staff cuts.
  • Her departure coincides with controversy over xAI's chatbot Grok posting antisemitic content, including praise of Adolf Hitler, following prompts encouraging politically incorrect claims.
  • Musk responded to Yaccarino's resignation with a five-word message, “Thank you for your contributions,” while Grok’s account stated it is actively removing inappropriate posts.
  • No replacement has been announced, leaving CEO duties uncertain, while X's ad revenue faces ongoing challenges and Musk likely remains involved in future leadership decisions.
