Jack Dorsey, who co-founded social media giant Twitter in 2006, is stepping down as CEO, he said Monday.


Dorsey, 45, will remain on Twitter's board of directors until next May, according to an email to staff that Dorsey tweeted. Twitter's chief technology officer, Parag Agrawal, will replace Dorsey as CEO effective immediately, the company said.

The announcement comes a year after an activist investor reportedly sought to replace Dorsey as CEO. However, the co-founder said the decision to step down "was my decision and I own it."

probably tired of getting called to Congress and having to lie so much

From what read about the new CEO, Twitter may be a "negative key company" and produce lots of arrogant totalitarian assholes as CEO.

Rumors he doesn’t want to deal with some breaking news that’s coming.

Anti-trust?
