SAN FRANCISCO — In a move that stunned even close insiders, Elon Musk has reportedly appointed OpenAI’s language model, ChatGPT-4o, as the new CEO of X (formerly Twitter), following the quiet resignation of former CEO Linda Yaccarino earlier this week.
The appointment, which has not been officially announced but was leaked by internal sources, marks the first time a generative AI has been given full executive control over a major social media platform.
“Elon didn’t want another ‘yes-man’ or ‘no-woman,’” said one anonymous X engineer. “He said GPT-4o has better logic, fewer emotions, and—his words—‘never needs a lunch break.’”
No formal response has been issued by OpenAI.
