According to the NY Times, which had an article queued up to publish 3 minutes after her tweet - and authored by Musk-hater Mike Isaac;

Yaccarino's exit caps a tumultuous period at X, which has been remade in Mr. Musk's image since he bought the platform for $44 billion in 2022. Since then, Mr. Musk has shed three quarters of the company's employees, loosened speech restrictions on the platform and wielded X as a political megaphone. Advertisers to X were at one point spooked by the changes and the social media company's ad business declined.

In March, Mr. Musk said he had sold X, which is a privately held company, to xAI, his artificial intelligence start-up, in an unusual arrangement that showed the financial maneuvering inside his business empire. The all-stock deal valued xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, Mr. Musk said. Since then, xAI has been in talks to raise new financing that could value it at as much as $120 billion.

The rest of the article essentially suggests Yaccarino's job was partly to handle Musk, who has "frequently made her job more difficult, including using expletives to tell advertisers that he would not be changing his ways."

Cuomo ran a campaign centered on his extensive experience, casting himself as the only candidate capable of saving a city he said had spun out of control. He focused heavily on combating antisemitism and leaned on his name recognition and juggernaut fundraising operation rather than mingling with voters.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist and member of the state Assembly, was virtually unknown when he launched his candidacy centered on a bold slate of populist ideas. But he built an energetic campaign that ran circles around Cuomo as the older, more moderate Democrat tried to come back from the sexual harassment scandal that led to his resignation four years ago.

Cuomo, meanwhile, did not remove his name from the November ballot ahead of a procedural deadline to do so and has said he is still considering whether to mount an actual campaign for the office.

In a statement Monday, Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi made it clear how the campaign feels about Adams' chances.

"Mayor Adams did not run in the Democratic primary because he knew he was anathema to Democrats and unelectable," Azzopardi said. "Nothing has changed. We do not see any path to victory for Mayor Adams."

Adams, while still a Democrat, is running in the November election as an independent. He dropped out of the Democratic primary in April after he was severely wounded by his now-dismissed federal bribery case. Though he had done little in the way of campaigning since then, he reignited his reelection operation in the days after Mamdani declared victory, calling it a choice between a "blue collar" candidate and one with a "silver spoon."

It was a hit job:

A statement from the Adams campaign responded to the Cuomo team's digs, saying "the only reason we are in this situation is because Andrew stepped down from his office and did an embarrassing run for mayor." The mayor went on to call Cuomo "selfish" and urged him to get out of the race.

"Andrew stepped down for a reason, and the public hasn't forgotten. If he couldn't finish his last term, why should voters believe he can lead the city now? He'll step aside again — because New Yorkers want progress, not the politics of the past," the statement read. "We should never forget that these same polls had Andrew up 32 points and he lost embarrassingly by 12 points."

On Monday, one former governor suggested a way to simplify the choice for voters come this fall: All candidates except one drop out, and all rally behind the one that's left.

"What we are doing is calling on the candidates who are still in the race to find a way to unite behind one of them," said former New York Gov. David Paterson, saying the crowded field gives Mamdani an advantage, as the independent candidates will split the vote.
