Elon Musk publicly thanked outgoing X CEO Linda Yaccarino after she announced her resignation from the company. Reacting in the comments under Linda Yaccarino’s farewell post on X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk wrote simply, “Thank you for your contributions."

Linda Yaccarino, who joined X in 2023 to oversee business operations while Elon Musk focused on product and tech, officially stepped down after a tumultuous two-year tenure. In her resignation message, she expressed deep appreciation for Elon Musk’s trust in her leadership and his vision for transforming the platform into the “Everything App."

“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, adding, “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."

Linda Yaccarino, a veteran media executive, joined X in 2023 after a long and successful career at NBCUniversal, where she served as Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships. Known for her deep ties to the advertising world, she was brought on to stabilize X’s ad revenue and help rebrand the platform amid ongoing turbulence under Elon Musk’s ownership.

Linda Yaccarino’s time as CEO saw her navigating sharp advertiser exits, a volatile public image for the platform and the integration of new products including Grok, X’s controversial AI chatbot. Her exit comes just weeks after Elon Musk transferred ownership of X to his AI venture xAI- signaling a deeper shift toward artificial intelligence initiatives.
