Jack Dorsey gets to keep his job at Twitter — for now

Twitter and Elliott Management's temporary cease-fire, the State Department's coronavirus secrecy, and Amazon's cashierless tech up for sale ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [View on the web]([Click to view images]( [Click to view images]( [Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gets to keep his job — for now]( Twitter is not going to fire its CEO Jack Dorsey. Yet. On Monday, Twitter announced a temporary cease-fire with Elliott Management, the “activist investor” fund that wanted Dorsey replaced. But the emphasis here should be on “temporary.” That's because the agreement Twitter and Elliott announced puts Elliott executive Jesse Cohn, who has been the driving force behind Elliott’s campaign to replace Dorsey, on Twitter’s board of directors. Recode's Peter Kafka explains why that gives Elliott the tools it will need to boot Dorsey, sooner than later.
