NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� X CEO Linda Yaccarino said she鈥檚 stepping down after two years running Elon Musk鈥檚 social media platform.
Yaccarino posted a positive message Wednesday about her tenure at the company formerly known as Twitter and said 鈥渢he best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with鈥� Musk鈥檚 artificial intelligence company xAI, maker of the chatbot Grok.
Musk hired Yaccarino, a veteran ad executive, in May 2023 buying Twitter for $44 billion in late 2022.
He said at the time that Yaccarino鈥檚 role would be focused mainly on running the company鈥檚 business operations, leaving him to focus on product design and new technology.
