Linda Yaccarino announced Wednesday that she is stepping down as CEO of X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk.

Her resignation comes shortly after X’s Grok chatbot was shut down for posting antisemitic content.

Yaccarino did not mention the controversy in her farewell message, instead praising the team’s efforts to improve user safety and regain advertiser trust.

Hired in May 2023 to lead business operations while Musk focused on technology, Yaccarino often had to manage fallout over antisemitism on the platform and advertiser departures, NBC News has reported.

Her exit had reportedly been planned for over a week. Musk thanked her for her work in a brief post.
