Linda Yaccarino has stepped down as CEO of social media platform X after nearly two years in the role. Her resignation follows the suspension of the company's AI chatbot, Grok, which was accused of posting antisemitic content. Yaccarino confirmed her departure in a statement on X, reflecting on her tenure and Elon Musk's vision for transforming the platform into the 'Everything App.'

Yaccarino, a former NBCUniversal advertising executive, was brought in to stabilize advertiser relations after Musk's acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion in 2022. Despite her efforts, the platform faced ongoing challenges under her leadership, including public controversies and advertiser skepticism.
