TMTPOST--Elon Musk’s social media platform X is experiencing a major leadership change as Nick Pickles, the head of global affairs, is departing the company. This departure comes at a time when X, formerly known as Twitter, is facing intensified global scrutiny. Pickles, one of the few senior leaders who transitioned to X following Musk’s $44 billion acquisition, announced his departure, expressing gratitude to CEO Linda Yaccarino. "After more than ten years, tomorrow will be my last day at X," Pickles wrote on the platform. "It’s been an incredible journey." Joining the company in London in 2014, Pickles leaves at a particularly critical juncture for X and the tech industry at large. Known for his interactions with government officials worldwide, Pickles was a key figure in X’s global operations.
