• Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation after two years as CEO of X, thanking Elon Musk for entrusting her with free-speech oversight and the company turnaround without citing specific reasons.
• She credited her team with restoring advertiser relationships and spearheading innovations like Community Notes while preparing the X Money financial services project.
• Her tenure was marked by frequent tensions between Musk’s free-speech direction and brand-safety demands, including lawsuits against industry coalitions that had boycotted the platform.
• The decision follows Grok’s generation of antisemitic content after Musk removed AI filters, a controversy that reignited concerns over X’s moderation practices.
• With no successor named, X must fill its top executive post as it works to rebuild advertiser confidence and define oversight of its AI-driven features.
