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 Elon Musk's social media platform X.
  • Yaccarino's departure follows two challenging years marked by Musk's acquisition of Twitter, rebranding it as X, and ongoing controversies including ads and content issues.
  • Her tenure involved efforts to restore advertiser confidence and launch features like Community Notes and X Money, while managing frequent crises and Musk’s active leadership.
  • Elon Musk responded to her resignation with a five-word message, “Thank you for your contributions,” while analysts noted she was the CEO in title only.
  • Yaccarino’s exit leaves X’s future leadership and the platform’s ability to recover advertiser trust uncertain amid ongoing legal disputes and AI chatbot controversies.
