  • Linda Yaccarino announced on Wednesday, 2025-07-10, that she is stepping down as CEO of Elon Musk's social media platform X.
  • Yaccarino was hired by Musk in May 2023 to stabilize X after his controversial $44 billion takeover of Twitter in late 2022 and ensuing upheaval.
  • Over her two years as CEO, Yaccarino concentrated on rebuilding advertiser trust, enhancing user safety, and evolving X into a multifunctional platform featuring payments, video content, and AI capabilities supported by Grok.

  • Her departure removes a key link to advertisers amid X's uncertain future and a skeptical ad market, suggesting Musk’s appetite for disruption may shape the next CEO’s challenges.
