Linda Yaccarino, who was hired two years ago by Elon Musk as chief executive officer of X, is stepping down less than three months after the social-media platform was absorbed by Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI.

“After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino said in a post on X Wednesday. “I’ll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world.”
