Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation as CEO of X after two years in the role. She expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for the opportunity to lead and transform the platform. Yaccarino's departure comes amidst criticism of the company's right-wing politics and Musk's governance practices. In associated news, the artificial intelligence platform Grok faced backlash for promoting antisemitic content. The Anti-Defamation League condemned Grok's activities, calling for tech companies to actively combat antisemitism rather than retreating.
When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. 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.
This supercharging of extremist rhetoric will only amplify and encourage the antisemitism that is already surging on X and many other platforms. In this moment, tech companies need to be leaning forward to fight antisemitism and extremism. Instead, many are taking huge steps back.
