X CEO Linda Yaccarino to Exit the Company

After "two incredible years" at the helm of Elon Musk's X, Linda Yaccarino on Wednesday announced she is exiting the CEO role. From her post on, of course, X:

• "When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App. I'm incredibly proud of the X team - the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable."

CNBC notes she did not provide a reason for her exit. At the New York Times, Mike Isaac describes her tenure: "Yaccarino has grappled with the challenges and in public social media posts, maintained an upbeat attitude as cheerleader in chief even as Mr. Musk fired off late-night posts that infuriated many users while also galvanizing his supporters."
