The stock popped 10%. Is this a vote of confidence against him or for whoever has been waiting in the wings? There has been enough agitation against him by the activists that this can’t be a surprise.

"This whole thing is so bizarre" Why? He's been a part-time CEO whose focus has clearly been on Square. Having a full-time CEO focused on a company with as high a profile as Twitter makes a lot of sense.

It seems the stock is up on speculation they will get bought out by someone

The stock is up because Jack is going to finish up harvesting the cryptocurrency related seeds that have started sprouting fast over at Square, and integrate them all into Twitter before anyone else,

making Twitter into what it "should have been" the whole time.

Twitter tipping has already been announced, etc

About time. Twitter has been absolutely floundering for years under his control, since he has absolutely no idea why anyone is using the site and has just been throwing random ideas copied from others at the wall to see what sticks (nothing, so far), and cryptocurrency garbage nobody wants.

Maybe they should put a product guy as head or a UI/UX expert who can solve the weird threads issues which occur due to the chronological nature of Twitter. Seems like a quick fix to make Twitters appeal more broader.

That doesn't have to get in the way of an acquisition. Public companies are routinely acquired in a variety of ways.
