Honest question: why should Dorsey not be seen as an exaggerated media story (by the media and himself) and what has he done which justifies the stock jumping that high?

He's run both companies for awhile now, Twitter has basically been stagnant. Doesn't he supposedly work like 80 hours a week anyway? It's already a full time job. Examples from 2011 and 2016:

Here is he 5 years apart, marketing himself. So if he's actually working 80 hours a week, where are the results? What has Twitter done over the last seven years? He wants to have his cake and eat it, too, yeah?

He should be considered an exaggerated media story but that would be a bad look for the valley

"So if he's actually working 80 hours a week, where are the results?"

And here I am, trying to find just one job in tech that's only 40 hours a week.

Plenty of 80 hour a week jobs that pay 35.

Twitter was always making money. That was not their problem. Their big problem was spending 2 billion dollars. Cut spending and you will see net profit go up. He is atleast doing that while slowly starting to experiment with the product.

I never understood Han's contempt for Jack Dorsey. He built two multi-million dollar companies. Very, very few people can say that.
