Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of Elon Musk’s X amid ‘antisemitic’ Grok row
Linda Yaccarino stepped down as the CEO of X on Wednesday evening after two years at the helm. The surprise move came hours after AI chatbot Grok heaped praise on Adolf Hitler and shared antisemitic tropes while responding to users. The Elon Musk-led platform had subsequently taken action to “ban hate speech before Grok posts on X”. Yaccarino did not provide a reason for her resignation — but opined that “the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with” Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI.
