Yaccarino’s departure comes one day after Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok repeatedly made antisemitic comments.
Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of Elon Musk’s X, she announced in a post.
Musk hired Yaccarino as CEO of X in May of 2023, months after he purchased the social blogging site Twitter for $44 billion.
Yaccarino did not give a reason for her departure.
Linda Yaccarino on Wednesday announced she is stepping down as CEO of Elon Musk’s social media site X after two years in the role.
Yaccarino’s departure comes one day after Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok repeatedly made antisemitic comments and referenced Hitler in response to posts about the Texas flooding.
Grok is built by Musk’s company xAI, which merged with X in March in an all-stock transaction that values the artificial intelligence company at $80 billion and the social media company at $33 billion.
