Jack Dorsey Expected To Step Down As Twitter CEO: REPORT
Daily Caller ^ | 29 Nov 21 | AILAN EVANS

Posted on 11/29/2021 7:33:17 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey is expected to step down from his position leading the social media company, CNBC reported, citing multiple sources.

It’s unclear exactly why Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter and currently serves as chief executive of financial technology firm Square, will step down, according to CNBC. Private equity firm Elliot Management previously attempted to oust Dorsey in 2020, the outlet reported.

It’s unclear who is set to succeed Dorsey, CNBC said. Twitter’s share price rose 11% following the news reports, according to CNBC. (RELATED: JD Vance Says Twitter Suspended His Campaign Press Account With ‘No Explanation’)

Twitter unrolled several new features for its platform in recent months, including a feature called “Spaces” that allows users to communicate with one another in a voice chat mode. The social media company also released a feature called “Twitter Blue” which allows users to access ad-free news coverage and other features through the Twitter platform.

Twitter did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

There is something seriously wrong with him. I think it’s some kind of morbid fascination with Islam and a hate for America.

“Twitter’s share price rose 11% following the news reports ...”

A ringing endorsement.

That will be his second sacking from Twatter. :

Let's remember why Jack Dorsey was fired as Twitter's CEO

On the eve of Jack Dorsey's official return the CEO role at Twitter (per Recode’s report), it's worth taking a look at why he was pushed out of the company he co-founded, alongside Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Noah Glass, in 2006.

As Twitter (TWTR) took off, Dorsey was initially put in charge of the company. He oversaw the company's many, many #Failwhale crashes. In Hatching Twitter, Nick Bilton’s book about Twitter's early days, Dorsey is painted as a bad manager who took credit for everything, handled criticism poorly, and didn't know how to manage. It's worth noting, amid rumors that Twitter will increase its famous 140-character constraint: 140 characters was Dorsey's idea.

Dorsey's focus on outside hobbies, including sewing and drawing classes, and his frequent party appearances annoyed his co-workers. His lack of communication to investors and apparent six-figure text message bills annoyed the board. He had frequent arguments with Williams, who had provided the initial funding for Twitter. Oh, and while he was in charge, there was no backup of Twitter's database.

Will the new CEO reinstate Trump’s account. Perhaps. But if President Trump comes back it will be only because there’s a perception that his absence from social media hurt the Democrats. Without mean tweets to run against, Democrats only had their own failing policies. This was particularly evident in Virginia.

If he isn’t replaced by a Marxist lesbian Muslim atheist woman of color who chooses the pronouns ve vir vem, then Twitter is totally racist. A Marxist of any sort would be acceptable, though.

I was permanently suspended after ten years with no warning on January 8th with my president. They denied my many appeals. With each appeal, some 20-something Dorsey surrogate dug in deeper.

Dorsey wasn’t always like he is today. He’s a dispiriting shadow of what he was and could have been. All he is is rich. No thank you.

My guess is he did a Ouija session, and his granddad and great uncle Tommy and Jimmy told him to get out while the getting was good.
