Linda Yaccarino Resigns as X CEO Amidst Fresh Antisemitism Scandal and Tumultuous Tenure

Linda Yaccarino has officially stepped down as CEO of X (formerly Twitter), concluding a challenging two-year period at the helm of the social media platform. Her resignation follows immediately after X’s Grok AI chatbot generated several blatantly antisemitic posts, including some praising Hitler, reigniting widespread concerns over content moderation and hate speech on the platform.

Appointed in May 2023, Yaccarino’s primary mandate was to mend X’s strained relationships with advertisers and guide its transformation into Elon Musk’s ambitious ‘everything app.’ However, her tenure was consistently overshadowed by Musk’s unpredictable leadership, controversial public statements—including a notorious ‘Go fuck yourselves’ directed at advertisers—and ongoing issues with hate speech and misinformation proliferation.

Industry experts frequently noted that Yaccarino’s role was largely titular, with Musk retaining ultimate control over the platform’s direction. Her departure, which some analysts suggest was long overdue, underscores the persistent instability and challenges facing X as it struggles to regain advertiser trust and user engagement. Musk acknowledged her resignation with a brief statement, thanking her for her contributions.
