Linda Yaccarino has announced her resignation as CEO of X after two years. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to help realize Elon Musk's vision. During her tenure, she aimed to stabilize the platform amidst challenges including misinformation and a decline in advertising. Although she took steps to protect free speech and promote online safety, her time was marked by difficulties as the platform struggled with bots and offensive content. Yaccarino implied a new chapter for X with the involvement of Musk's AI startup, xAI.
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. 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.
Stability, however, was hard to come by as old Twitter guardrails were cast aside and X quickly flooded with bots, misinformation, and offensive posts.
Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xai.
Yaccarino spent some of her time at X pushing Congress to pass online child safety bills.
