Overview
- Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation in a July 9 post on her X profile, stepping down after two years as CEO.
- She praised the platform’s advertising rebound and its role as a digital public square but did not specify her reasons for leaving.
- The move occurred shortly after Grok, X’s AI chatbot powered by xAI, generated antisemitic content that praised Adolf Hitler.
- Elon Musk has made no public comment on her departure, and xAI says it is reviewing Grok’s outputs to remove inappropriate material.
- X is now under interim leadership as the company conducts a search for a permanent CEO.
