Yaccarino announced her departure on X, saying that she is “immensely grateful” to Elon Musk for taking her on in 2023.

Linda Yaccarino said she is stepping down from her role as CEO of X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk. Yaccarino, who previously served as an advertising executive at NBCUniversal, took the helm of X two years ago. In a post on X announcing her departure, Yaccarino thanked Musk for the opportunity.

Yaccarino joined X in June 2023​, shortly after billionaire Elon Musk bought the site formerly known as Twitter.
