X CEO Linda Yaccarino Resigns Amid Musk-Trump Political Feud
Linda Yaccarino has stepped down as CEO of X after a two-year tenure marked by Elon Musk's ownership and the platform's turbulent evolution. Her departure coincides with escalating tensions between Musk and former President Donald Trump, fueled by the recent launch of Musk's America Party political movement.
Yaccarino assumed leadership in June 2023 following Musk's acquisition, navigating X through a period of radical transformation. While no explicit reason was given for her resignation, the timing raises questions about internal dynamics as Musk intensifies his political ambitions.
The former CEO reflected on her tenure as a defining career chapter, acknowledging Musk's trust during X's business model overhaul. "After two incredible years, I've decided to step down," Yaccarino stated, praising her team's efforts in reshaping the social media platform.
