2. Dorsey Only Holds 2% Of Twitter

About $750 million, or around 6.3% of his net worth.
This year, he proxied his share.
Since he's worth 2.5 times what Singer is worth, i doubt this "forced out" story.
I don't think he cares.

He turned twitter into the most influential of the social network platforms and has now been shoved out.

You post a Faux link & expect me to believe that Dorsey is slinking away.
I don't believe the story you linked.
If Dorsey felt like staying, he'd fight.
He's got the money to buy back 30% of the company.
I can't believe your accepting tbat source as unbiased.
Dorsey is leaving BECAUSE HE FEELS LIKE IT!

8. Republican mega-donor buys stake in Twitter and seeks to oust Jack Dorsey - 2/29/20

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.

After a White House visit in February 2017, Trump said Singer “was very much involved with the anti-Trump or, as they say, ‘Never Trump’, and Paul just left, and he’s given us his total support and it’s all about unification”.
