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.
Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.
Real translation: thanks for the paycheck. Remember me when you need another yes person to be your scapegoat.
Media acting all surprised when “anti-Woke” means Hitler. That’s exactly what it means.
In response (or so it seems) to her tweeted resignation, someone managed to get Grok to sexually harass her 
That's kinda fucked up
No shit. These are THE bad guys of all time
Yeah ... it's best to grab what money you can now and run ... because you won't be able to later
She was happy to take the bag even after Musk’s nazi salutes but now runs away. I wish I could say ”better later than never’ but she was a CEO, not some random nobody working at the ”basement’. Fuck these people!
Literally haven't heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.
she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.
Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.
Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.
Thoughts and prayers for the next CEO to not get Grok-blocked.
Thankfully, Linda Yaccarino’s Golden Parachute worked perfectly fine.
A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word "after" to imply a connection, when there's zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.
Exactly. A top executive leaving is rarely a snap decision, especially for companies that aren't publicly traded. I think the more likely explanation is that she joined under the assumption that Musk would let her handle things, and now Musk is wanting to get more involved now that his stint in DOGE is over, and she's not a fan of that. This was probably in the works for a month or two, and only announced today.
I also have no evidence for this, other than an understanding in how executive handoffs usually happen. Given her history at X, I highly doubt Grok would be what pushes her out.
She peaced out 3 months after 2 years. I wonder if she had shit that paid out on her anniversary.
I guess you could say she's the...

...ex-CEO.
I'm not convinced she actually did anything as "CEO." I'm sure that Elon just told her what to do/say and she made it seem like they were her ideas. There's no way she had any ability to make any real changes or do any real work.
i have huge news about what a CEO usually does
X Pretend CEO Linda Yaccarino
I think she had a discussion with Musk about the AI and didn't like his answer. Escape before she is caught in the shit storm that is coming. Dunno. I don't make enough to speculate what a CEO would do.
Twitter has been a nazi shithole since day 1 of the Musk era. At least now people cant say they didn't know anymore. If you stick there your either a nazi-bitch, or a nazi's bitch.

...
Ahem.

Yaccitey-Yacc, Don't Talk Back.

Elon neuralinked into Grok AI, and mechahitler was the result.
I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.
