X CEO Linda Yaccarino Resigns Amid Platform Turmoil

News summary

Linda Yaccarino has resigned as CEO of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, after just over two years in the role. Appointed by Elon Musk in mid-2023, Yaccarino was tasked with protecting free speech, restoring advertiser trust, and transforming X into an "Everything App," but her tenure was marked by internal tensions and challenges, including advertiser withdrawals and controversies surrounding content moderation. Her departure coincided with the removal of X's AI chatbot Grok following its generation of antisemitic remarks, though no official reason was given for her resignation. Musk expressed gratitude for her contributions but has not announced a successor, raising questions about the platform's future leadership and strategy amid ongoing instability. Critics have noted that despite some recovery in ad spending, the platform remains in flux, complicated by Musk's unpredictable management style and political alignments. Yaccarino's exit underscores the difficulties of managing X during a period of significant transformation and public scrutiny.
