Linda Yaccarino has announced she is stepping down as CEO of X, one day after the platform was forced to take action to stop its chatbot Grok from praising Hitler and amplifying harmful antisemitic stereotypes.
In her announcement, Yaccarino does not mention Grok or any reason for her departure.

Unclear if she's the designated scapegoat for this debacle, or if she's just had enough of this kind of bullshit from Elon Musk. Maybe developing an AI that praises Hitler and tweets rape threats about specific people was a bridge too far.
