X’s vice
president of global affairs Nick Pickles is leaving the company, he said
Friday.
Pickles ran
global affairs at the Elon Musk-owned social media firm since 2022 and was
considered the firm's Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino's right hand man
on public policy.
He said in a
post on the platform that he'll leave the company this week after a stint of
more than 10 years, and is taking time off before starting a “new challenge.”
Pickles, a
former U.K. parliamentary candidate for the Conservative party, is one of the
few high-profile figures at the company to have stayed on after Elon Musk took
over in October 2022.
Pickles'
post did not mention Musk, who in recent months has engaged in high-profile
battles with governments, regulators and courts around the world, including a
public spat with the European Union's digital commissioner Thierry Breton,
fierce criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and accusations of
corruption against Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes.
