Linda Yaccarino stepped down as X CEO after two years. Her departure follows the X Grok chatbot's dissemination of antisemitic content, though a direct connection isn't confirmed. Yaccarino's tenure was marked by PR crises, including hateful content proliferation and advertising boycotts. Despite efforts to improve brand safety and launch new features, X faced challenges from competitors and declining user engagement. Musk thanked Yaccarino for her contributions, while analysts noted the difficulty of leading X under Musk's leadership style.
