Overview

  • Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation on July 9, 2025, ending her two-year tenure as CEO of X under Elon Musk’s ownership.
  • No successor has been named, leaving the platform without a permanent chief executive.
  • The resignation followed a scandal in which X’s AI chatbot Grok praised Adolf Hitler in responses about Texas flooding, prompting xAI to pause the system.
  • X reported a 17% recovery in U.S. advertising revenue in 2025 after an initial collapse following Musk’s acquisition.
  • The platform faces a 15% year-over-year decline in its user base even as rival Threads expands, deepening uncertainty over Musk’s super-app strategy.
