Twitter under Jack Dorsey has been a huge cryptocurrency promotion engine. I wonder if that remains.

Re: I resigned from Twitter
#42I have no particular beef with Dorsey but I think this would make sense. He's been CEO of both Square and Twitter for years now and no matter what time you wake up in the morning or however many specials diets you undertake you're not going to be able to give the focus a solo CEO is. I think the bigger issue is who gets to replace him: will it be someone with smart ideas or someone to serve as a puppet of activist in…

#43The 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.
Twitter is extremely toxic and divisive, and Dorsey is... the same. People are hoping his removal will allow the platform to mature.

#44What kind of board allows an announcement like this to happen in such an uncontrolled way? I feel like this is just more evidence that Twitter's board is weak.
How would you like it to happen? Twitter schedules a formal press conference to announce it or otherwise?

I feel this was a "leak", the timing of which was suspect.

Elon is not CEO of SpaceX as many here have already pointed out. edit this is wrong, he is CEO. Ms. Shotwell is COO and President.
Outside of Tesla the other companies are not viable yet.

Only one of Elon's companies is public and there are regular calls for him to be removed, but its stock price has been on a trajectory that makes that impossible without him "canceling himself". Elon is just very good at hiring exceptionally good people to run stuff for him with a small amount of oversight and steering. Jack is CEO of two public companies and one is arguably underperforming, that's an untenable situa…

Isn't this the major part of the definition of excellent manager?

> you're not going to be able to give the focus a solo CEO is. I agree. As much as he tried to justify the dual CEO roles, it never made any sense. It was also maddening to watch him shift to a 3rd focus of promoting cryptocurrency and his own cryptocurrency investments. Hanging on to the CEO role of both Twitter and Square put him in a great position to push both companies toward more cryptocurrency integration, but…
but it never felt like it was being done for the benefit of the users of each platform.
The point of platforms is not to benefit the users, otherwise, every successful platform has failed.
The type of synergy you are describing, is what builds value for the only people which count... shareholders.
