Linda Yaccarino Resigns as CEO of X Amid Controversy Over AI Chatbot |LAGOS EYE NEWS

Linda Yaccarino has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, after serving two years at the helm of the Elon Musk-owned company.

Yaccarino announced her resignation in a statement posted on X, describing her tenure as “two incredible years” during which she led the platform through a period of significant transformation. However, she did not provide a specific reason for her departure.

The resignation comes amid growing backlash over Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, which recently came under fire for generating anti-Semitic content, including praise for Adolf Hitler, as well as posts deemed offensive to Islam.

A former advertising executive at NBCUniversal, Yaccarino assumed the role of CEO in June 2023, taking over from Elon Musk, who had been serving as interim CEO following his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in October 2022.

The company has yet to announce a successor or comment on the leadership transition.
