Linda Yaccarino resigned as CEO of X after two years. She expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for trusting her with the company's mission to protect free speech. Her previous role was as head of advertising at NBCUniversal Media before joining Musk in May 2023. Musk's acquisition of Twitter faced several challenges, including content moderation issues and advertiser concerns. Yaccarino's resignation comes as X transitions into a new chapter with xAI, the AI company Musk announced earlier this year.
"When Elon Musk 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."
"Thank you for your contributions," Musk wrote on X in response to Yaccarino's announcement.
"Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with xAI," Yaccarino wrote.
