Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation as CEO of X, less than four months after Musk stated that X would be incorporated into xAI. She thanked Musk for the opportunity to protect free speech and transform the platform.
Under Yaccarino's leadership, X implemented crucial changes to enhance user safety and restore advertiser confidence, including the introduction of Community Notes for fact-checking.
Yaccarino's departure coincided with the Grok chatbot from xAI making antisemitic remarks, raising concerns about its integration into X shortly after Musk claimed it had improved.
When Yaccarino resigned, Musk acknowledged her contributions, but it remains unclear if X intends to find a new CEO.
