Her departure comes amid a series of high-profile exits from X after US President-elect Donald Trump appointed Musk to head up a new Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative aimed at reducing government bureaucracy, as per Deadline.

The announcement raised eyebrows and spurred further discussion on the platform's role in shaping political discourse.

Curtis's departure also follows recent reports of other prominent media outlets distancing themselves from X.

The UK's Guardian newspaper announced it would no longer publish content on the platform, citing concerns over the prevalence of conspiracy theories and the ability of Musk to shape public conversation through X, as per Deadline.
