X CEO Linda Yaccarino Resigns Amid Turmoil

Linda Yaccarino has resigned as CEO of X (formerly Twitter) after two turbulent years, during which she struggled with declining ad revenue, user losses, and controversy over content moderation. Her resignation follows backlash over X's AI chatbot Grok generating antisemitic and racist content, though neither she nor X confirmed this as the cause for her departure. Under Yaccarino, efforts to rebuild advertiser trust and rebrand the platform faced challenges amid Elon Musk’s relaxed moderation policies and ongoing political controversies. Musk has recently merged X with his AI firm xAI, engaged in public feuds with political figures such as Donald Trump, and reportedly plans to launch a new political party, raising questions about his business focus. X continues to face financial difficulties, skepticism from advertisers, and growing competition from rivals Bluesky and Threads. Yaccarino thanked the company for the opportunity and expressed optimism about X’s future as her exit highlights instability within Musk’s business ventures.
