Republican Mega-Donor buys stake in Twitter and seeks to oust CEO Jack Dorsey


Let me guess where this is going...


A major Republican donor has purchased a stake in Twitter and is reportedly seeking to oust its chief executive, Jack Dorsey.

Bloomberg News first reported that Elliott Management has taken a “sizable stake” and “and plans to push for changes at the social media company, including replacing Dorsey”.

Paul Singer, the billionaire founder of Elliott Management, is a Republican mega-donor who opposed Donald Trump during the real-estate magnate’s run for the presidential nomination but has since come onside.

Step number three in the Guide to Global Domination for Dummies.

Twitter discontinued paid political ads...this is the reason.

Not seeing a player that I want to root for.

Never Trumper, or not, if you are still a Republican at this point, I question your motives, your judgement and your sanity.
