X CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down after two years
Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X, apparently effective immediately. She posted the news, naturally, on X, saying "I'm immensely grateful to [Elon Musk] for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App." She went on to say that "the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable." Reasonable minds can differ on if any of those things have happened.Among the many changes that have come to X since Yaccarino took over are decreased moderation, a greater reliance on "community notes" that aren't properly doing what they're intended to do and, most recently, an AI bot that spouts antisemitic hatespeech.
