Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of X

(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X after two years leading the social media company.

Yaccarino announced her exit in a post on the platform, where she expressed that she is "immensely grateful" to Elon Musk for entrusting her to lead the company.

She added, "Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter," and said in the post, "I'll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world."

Her exit comes months after Musk sold X to xAI, which is his artificial intelligence company.

The move formally combined the two entities and raised questions about Yaccarino's role in the new company.
