Linda Yaccarino Steps Down as CEO of X (WSJ. 20250709)

Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of Elon Musk's social media platform, X. Her departure follows the merger of Musk's two companies, xAI and X, making the social media platform part of a broader artificial intelligence-focused company. Yaccarino's future at the company had been uncertain for months. The high growth potential of AI became more important to investors than the tighter margin social media business overseen by Yaccarino. Yaccarino didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. In other news, Nvidia has become the world's first $4 trillion company. A rally in the AI chipmaker's shares lifted its market capitalization above the $4 trillion mark today. Nvidia became a $1 trillion company just two years ago. Nvidia is now worth as much as the 216 smallest companies in the S&P 500 combined according to Dow Jones Market Data. Finally, Duolingo appears to be seeing weaker user trends in the US following a memo outlining its AI-first strategy, which sparked pushback on social media. That's according to analysts and Morgan Stanley. In a note, they said, "US daily active users have fallen about 10% since April," citing Sensor Tower data, "and that that pullback will lightly weigh on second quarter results, but could prove temporary."

머스크 소유의 소셜미디어 X의 CEO가 사임함. 최근 xAI와 X가 통합함에 따라 X가 xAI의 일부가 됨. 투자자들은 마진이 타이트했던 X보다 AI의 성장 가능성을 더 중시함. 한편 Nvidia 주가가 오르며 사상 최초로 시총 4조 달러를 넘어섬. 2년 전에 시총 1조 달러를 넘어섬. 이제 Nvidia의 가치는 S&P 500에 상장된 216개 소기업 가치의 총합과 비슷함. 한편, 언어학습 플랫폼 Duolingo의 이용자 수가 감소세임. Duolingo가 AI 우선 전략을 발표하면서 이에 대한 반발이 있었음. Duolingo 활성이용자 수가 4월 이후 10% 하락함에 따라 2분기 실적에 다소 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 일시적일 수도 있다고 함
