Black Rock and Cato pushed Dorsey out. I thought this was common knowledge and a clear sign of where Twitter is headed (and indeed where some notorious Twitterers would have liked it to go a while back).

Getting high on ones own supply is precisely the point. Its meant to be addictive, for Twitterers and followers alike.

Can you give links for further reading. I think I read about certain investors but never saw black rock names as one who wanted him out.

Who is Cato in this? Presumably not the Cato Institute? Lol

I'd assume it IS. Dorsey has recently been directly targeted by numerous Cato Institute publications and lobbying efforts [1]. Which is comical, given just a couple years ago Cato was pressing government to stay out of social network regulation [2, 3]. It was only when Twitter started penalizing disinformation/fact checking that they started changing their tune.
