WASHINGTON, July 9, 2025 – **Linda Yaccarino** is no longer the CEO of X.

Writing on her X account on Wednesday, Yaccarino [said](https://x.com/lindayaX/status/1942957094811951197?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1942957094811951197%7Ctwgr%5E037895efd0e5fc36b0d9c52863468943e9e8cdcf%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewrap.com%2Fx-ceo-linda-yaccarino-steps-down%2F&ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) that working for **Elon Musk’s** platform was “the opportunity of a lifetime,” but that she had decided to step down. She praised her team, noting their work on projects such as Community Notes and X Money, and said that “the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xAI.”

Though she did not say why she was leaving the company, her departure comes a day after X’s AI chatbot, Grok, [posted a series](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/07/grok-anti-semitic-tweets/683463/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) of antisemitic remarks, including comments praising Hitler, on the platform. Those remarks have since been deleted, amid widespread criticism from media outlets and [governments](https://apnews.com/article/turkey-artificial-intelligence-grok-access-ban-erdogan-8ba6c5b9529fb17b6ec8025f25a8b59c?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) alike.

Yaccarino has been a vocal advocate for Community Notes, a crowd-sourced fact-checking system used on X, calling it “the most effective, fastest fact-checking without bias” during [a January 2025 appearance at CES](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/meta-scraps-fact-checking-program-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration/). The move helped inspire Meta to scale back its content moderation practices. The social media giant ended its third-party, fact-checking program in early 2025.

A former NBCUniversal executive, Yaccarino [assumed her role](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/treasury-funds-for-idaho-and-delaware-fcc-funds-24-million-for-schools-musk-tweets-new-ceo/) with X in May 2023\. Though her time at the company was relatively short, it was certainly eventful, and included [the creation](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/metas-new-platform-threads-is-called-a-potential-twitter-killer/) of Threads, [questions about](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/senators-grill-tech-ceos-over-child-sexual-exploitation-section-230/) children' s safety on the platform, and the [renaming](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/national-data-privacy-plan-4-million-for-tribal-broadband-twitter-rebrands/) of the social media giant itself from Twitter to X.

As of this writing, X has not publicly named a new CEO.
