X CEO Linda Yaccarino said Wednesday she is stepping down from her post after two years spearheading a complicated overhaul at Elon Musk’s social media site.
“After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino wrote in an X post.
“When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company,” she added. “I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.”
