X CEO Linda Yaccarino Resigns After xAI Merger

News summary

Linda Yaccarino has resigned as CEO of X (formerly Twitter) after just over two years in the role, shortly after the company's recent merger into Elon Musk's AI venture, xAI. Yaccarino, recruited to help restore advertiser confidence, faced persistent challenges including declining ad revenues, frequent controversies over hate speech, and the recent scandal involving Grok, X’s AI chatbot, posting antisemitic content. While Yaccarino introduced new features and brand safety measures, many advertisers remained hesitant due to ongoing moderation and brand safety issues. She did not specify a reason for her departure but expressed gratitude to Musk for the opportunity to lead X’s transformation. Industry observers cite internal pressures and Musk’s unpredictable leadership as contributing factors. The company has not yet named a successor, leaving X’s direction uncertain as it increases its focus on AI.
