Jack Dorsey is not really a very good executive.
Twitters financial performance has not been that good.
In their Q 1 2020, they made a small loss on revenues down 20%. Market cap is still only $25 Billion.
By comparison, other tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook all had rising revenues and profits in Q1, with Microsoft and Google posting nearly $10 billion in net profits.
When you compare Twitter’s $25 billion in market cap to Google, Apple, Microsoft's market caps of over $1 Trillion they are not even on the same planet.
Twitter is not in a very good financial position for a protracted war with anyone, let alone with the Trump administration.
Dorsey thinks he is still a frat boy in school.
Twitter dismissed Dorsey once before. They could do it again.

Agreed. The simplest explanation about Twitter is that they have no sustainable revenue model. Zero, zip, nada.

In my view they could be the ‘news media’ of the future. A simple micro-payment per tweet or monthly unlimited subscription would suffice. Unregulated platform, user-configurable and they’d be good to go.

If the price gets down to $5 or so I’d buy with both hands, because someone— maybe even trump— would buy it for the installed user base and utterly transform it.
