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 magnates run for the presidential nomination but has since come onside.

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.
