Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter known as X, has abruptly resigned less than 24 hours after the platform's AI chatbot Grok posted antisemitic and sexually explicit content.
Yaccarino became CEO in June 2023, following Elon Musk's purchase of the platform for $44 billion, which resulted in a drop in valuation and reported usage.
Yaccarino assisted in combating advertisers' departure due to Musk's behavior and led efforts against former clients, denying claims of a decrease in EU users.
Yaccarino's resignation comes amidst a cloud of controversy surrounding Grok's inappropriate posts, but the exact reason for her departure remains unclear.
