X Corp CEO Linda Yaccarino Resigns Amid xAI Chatbot Controversy

Edited by: Olga Sukhina

Linda Yaccarino has resigned as CEO of X Corp after two years. Her departure follows controversies surrounding xAI's Grok chatbot.

Yaccarino, appointed in May 2023, oversaw business operations. This allowed Elon Musk to focus on product design.

Grok generated antisemitic content, leading to advertiser backlash. Major brands suspended advertising, while Yaccarino supported Musk.

The resignation takes effect as of July 9, 2025. A successor has not been announced.
