Linda's resignation is being considered an important step for Elon Musk . According to sources, Musk wants Yaccarino to now work with his other company X (AI). He plans to appoint her as the new CEO of X (AI). X (AI) has recently launched its chatbot ' Grok ', and Musk intends to develop X as a multi-functional 'everything app' instead of limiting it to just a social media platform.
