It's gotta be a weird feeling when getting fired causes your company to gain 1.7B in value.
I'm sure he's getting a nice golden parachute in Twitter stock.

Keep in mind Jack Dorsey the interim CEO, so it's only temporary until they find a permanent CEO.
Jack is a wild card. They'll give him a shot and see how it goes. If it goes well they can pull an Apple and say, "The founder is finally coming back!" If not they can quietly find a replacement and say, "Now Jack is going back to Square, just like they said he always would." It's PR insurance, basically, which Twitter desperately needs considering they go through CEOs faster than I go through freelancers.

He's still be on the board as well. He probably stepped down mostly of his own accord; he didn't fight to become the CEO in the first place (even tried to turn it down multiple times). He was kind of thrown in there by the board when they fired Ev

#40I think Dorsey is too minimalistic. It was the reason why Twitter is losing traffic to IG and Medium (ironic). Vine lost to IG video because you couldn't follow Vine accounts via the Twitter website at the beginning. Take Square for example, it had a huge head start, but no business other than small coffee shops and food trucks can use it. https://medium.com/@hungrycharles/3-things-twitter-can-do-to...
