One user commented, "Family is the most important! Long after you’re gone, no one will remember how much extra time you put in at the office, but your kids will remember all the times you were there and involved. The same goes for parents. When they are gone, you will cherish every moment you get to spend with them. Great pic, and cherish this time!"
Another added, “Enjoy! We appreciate your time at X." Another added, “Linda, keep us updated when you consider a new move. Enjoy your time off.”

Elon Musk responded to her message with a brief note: "Thank you for your contributions." The understated reply drew attention online, with some users calling it "cold" given Yaccarino's high-stakes role and public presence over the past two years.
Yaccarino, who joined X in 2023, was brought in to lead the company's business operations as Musk focused on product and engineering. Her exit marks another major shift in the leadership dyna mics of the social media company, which has undergone significant transformations since Musk's acquisition in 2022.
