Yaccarino didn’t provide a reason for her resignation and Musk hasn’t named a successor. The post Yaccarino resigns as CEO of X day after “MechaHitler” posts appeared first on Salon.com. "That is not how I saw that ending."

X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced she was stepping down from her position a day after the company’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot went haywire and began calling itself “MechaHitler.” Yaccarino’s departing message was positive and did not mention Tuesday’s scandal.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.
