X no longer marks the spot for Linda Yaccarino. “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” posted Yaccarino on the social media platform. “When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.” Musk bought the social media platform, then called Twitter, for $44 billion in 2022; he poached Yaccarino from NBCUniversal, where she headed advertising, the following year. “Thank you for your contributions,” was his curt response to Yaccarino’s exit announcement.
