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."

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.

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.
