Linda Yaccarino is resigning as CEO of X, previously Twitter, after two years leading the platform. She thanked Elon Musk for the opportunity, citing a mission to protect free speech and transform X. During her tenure, Yaccarino faced challenges such as a significant advertiser boycott due to concerns about content safety. Musk noted a 50% drop in advertising revenue since his acquisition. Yaccarino highlighted efforts to improve user safety and restore advertiser confidence, including initiatives like Community Notes and X Money.
"When [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."
"We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users-especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence."
