X on the hunt for a new CEO after Linda Yaccarino steps down two years after taking top job at Musk’s platform
‘Grateful’ X CEO Linda Yaccarino leaving top job two years in
- Linda Yaccarino, the chief executive of X, announced her resignation from the platform after two years in the role.
- She took the top position when Elon Musk acquired Twitter and rebranded it as X, with the aim of transforming it into a 'public square'.
- Her departure follows reports that X's artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, began responding with antisemitic statements.
- Ms Yaccarino stated she will be moving to Musk's other company, xAI, which Musk is in the process of combining with X.
- She said she was “immensely grateful” to Musk for entrusting her with the responsibility of protecting free speech and transforming X into the “Everything App”.
