Linda Yakarno, who is one of the top deputies as the CEO of Elon Musk’s own X -social media site, is going out of the company in a surprising move a few months after the acquisition of the platform through the billionaire AI startup, Zee.
The 61 -year -old Akariino made the announcement in a post on X, which states that it was a decision, though Musk has a history of rejecting the deputation. Yakrano wrote, “I have decided to retire as XK CEO.
Its departure increases the riot in the massive business empire of Musk, including its electric vehicle maker Tesla and the falling of AI -related disputes. Musk has been entangled in a war of words with former ally President Donald Trump.
An adventurer of the advertising industry rose to the post for two years when he boarded a platform to help resurrect X’s credibility among the marketers, who were fleeing the platform over hateful or otherwise to increase toxic content. He did not give any specific reason for his departure and both X and Yakarno did not immediately respond to the commentary requests.
It was unclear when the CEO’s resignation would be implemented.
“Thank you for your contribution,” Musk wrote on X in response to the resignation of Yakarno on X.
Routing the marketers, Yakarno is known as the World Federation of Advertisers against some advertisers and a major industry group, and alleged that they have denied the X -advertising, including boycott of the platform.
The confidence of flagging advertising
Yacarino’s resignation came a day after GROK, AI Chatboat, developed by Xi, published content on the platform with Antismatic Trumps and praised Adolf Hitler. After a public response, these posts were deleted and Yakarno wrote that she was working to restore advertising confidence and prefer security over X.
Analysts said it was difficult for Musk’s reputation and a prominent place of highly content on X, which had repelled some advertisers. “The Vice President of the Emirate, Jasmine Enberg added,” The Ayarno had to try to run a business regularly. “
Earlier, Gul Loria, an analyst from DADSon, said that the chair of global advertising and partnerships at the NBC Universe of Kamcac, “has been the result of a lack of fit between his point of view and Elon Musk’s style.”
In March, Musk’s AI Startup Xi acquired the social media platform in a $ 33 billion All Stock deal. Neither X nor Yarino said who would replace it.
Tesla, which is the Musk CEO, is also dealing with the emissions of high executives. Sources told Reuters, a billionaire’s trusted company left the company last month in Jenna Ferova, Tesla, Omed Afsher, and HR, North American HR. Before leaving the post in May, Musk had spread himself thin this year while running the government’s performance.
Tesla shares fell by about 1 % on the news about Yakino.
X is suffering from a heavy debt burden, and Yakarno often has to deal with the conflicts that are stirred by the Musk, including the verification of their anti -conspiracy theories at the end of 2023. Kasturi renamed the platform, previously known as Twitter.
Under Yakrino, X introduces new features, which aims to convert the social media site into a “app of everything”, which aims for Musk, which includes a partnership with a visa and launching a smart TV app to offer direct payment solutions.
The Financial Times reported last month, that the company was also looking for an X -credit or debit card to roll.
