Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of Elon Musk’s X

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Linda Yaccarino resigned amid challenges including advertiser loss and backlash over antisemitic AI chatbot posts, despite efforts to restore revenue and introduce new features, analysts said.

  • Linda Yaccarino announced on July 9, 2025, that she is stepping down as CEO of X, Elon Musk's social media platform, after two years in the role.
  • Yaccarino's resignation followed one day after xAI's Grok chatbot posted antisemitic content referencing Adolf Hitler, which was deleted amid public backlash.
  • Elon Musk hired Yaccarino in May 2023 to revitalize X’s advertising business amid heavy debt, advertiser boycotts, and controversies involving Musk’s management and AI issues.
  • Musk responded on X with a five-word message, "Thank you for your contributions," while analysts said Yaccarino was CEO in title only and faced a difficult position.
  • Yaccarino’s departure adds to instability in Musk’s business empire, which also faces falling Tesla sales, AI controversies, and challenges restoring advertiser confidence.
