Jack “In Memoriam” Dorsey
Just over five months after his appearance in Miami, our favorite crypto-shilling beard-wearing CEO announced he’d be stepping downas CEO of the company, with Twitter CTO Parag Agrawal replacing him in the role. Supposedly, this time it’ll stick—Jack first signed on as CEO in 2007 before reportedly being forced out a year later. In 2011, he circled back to the company as Twitter’s executive chair and returned to the CEO role in 2015. In a public tweet (natch), Dorsey noted that he plans to resign from Twitter’s board in “May-ish,” in order to “give Parag the space he needs to lead” the company on his own.
“I believe it’s critical a company can stand on its own, free of its founder’s influence or direction,” he wrote, adding that he “love[s] this service and company,” along with all of Twitter’s users, “so much.”Jack will continue being a fashion disaster in whatever role he takes on next.
Other than that, the future is uncertain and the end is always near. Final Score: 46.48 (Twitter’s trading price following the news)/10
Correction: A previous version of this post identified a Jack “Oopsie Woopsie” Dorsey who is not in fact, Jack Dorsey. Oopsie.
