In a massive development, Linda Yaccarino, a former media executive, has announced her resignation as CEO of X. This comes just two years after she took up this position following Elon Musk’s acquisition. Her resignation also comes amid a feud between Musk and US President Donald Trump.
She also described it as an opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. Linda Yaccarino had assumed this position in June 2023, shortly after the world’s richest man acquired the company.
Her resignation comes at a delicate time, as Musk and Trump are currently at odds with each other. As CoinGape reported, Musk has gone so far as to create a new political party, the America Party.
However, Linda Yaccarino didn’t give any specific reason for her decision to step down. She stated that she is immensely grateful to Musk for entrusting her with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.
