Linda Yaccarino resigned as CEO of X (previously Twitter) after two years, bringing an end to a prominent phase for the social media network owned by Elon Musk.
In a post on X, Yaccarino commended X owner Elon Musk for giving her what she called an “extraordinary mission” of defending free speech, reviving the firm, and making X 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. We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users—especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence. This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xai (sic),” she continued.
Calling X the most potent cultural signal in the world and a true digital town square for all voices, she said, “We couldn’t have achieved that without the support of our users, business partners, and the most innovative team in the world (sic).”
“I’ll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world. As always, I’ll see you on 𝕏 (sic),” Yaccarino concluded her post.
