X CEO Linda Yaccarino said Wednesday that she is leaving her role at Elon Musk’s social media company after two years.
“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,” she wrote in a post on the platform.
“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,” she added.
Yaccarino joined X, then known as Twitter, in 2023, about six months after Musk’s tumultuous takeover of the platform. She came from NBCUniversal Media, where she had been serving as the chair of the company’s global advertising and partnerships.

The X CEO navigated several major changes at the platform, including its rebranding from Twitter to X, as well as numerous crises.
Advertisers fled the site after Musk’s takeover, as he began rolling back various content moderation policies and restoring previously banned accounts, including that of President Trump.
