Elon Musk appoints a security manager for X. McRoberts is the first head of safety at X in 10 months.

In October, after the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, the European Commission opened an investigation into X for disinformation, terrorist content and hate speech. According to analytics firm Sensor Tower, in February compared to October 2022, 75 of the top 100 U.S. advertisers on X stopped investing in ads on the platform. The first, Yoel Roth, resigned a few weeks after Musk took over the social network.
