I know this is going to be controversial, but I think it has to be said. Jack ruined Twitter first [1] (by over-hiring and then selling it to Elon) and now it's Block's turn. He still made billions, while thousands got laid off and are still suffering under Elon's questionable so called leadership. Are these the entrepreneurs we should be looking up to? The tech industry is already facing the brunt because of the mistakes CEOs have done by "miscalculating" or "misjudging" the macroeconomic conditions; the same CEOs are enjoying their billions.

- jmeister 3y agoTwitter and Square wouldn’t have existed without Dorsey. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
- posharma 3y agoThat doesn’t make him a good, responsible CEO.
- pwdisswordfishc 3y agoOkay, what can we say about his redeeming qualities for a change?
- astrange 3y agoParag sold to Elon, and he got a great return for shareholders by selling at far above market value. Jack doesn't do anything but meditate and grow a beard like he's young Steve Jobs. Why the board let him be CEO when he didn't do any apparent work is a different question.
- raverbashing 3y agoWho takes the deal or not is the board. Sure, Parag did the work, as it was his job as CEO
- hellomyguys 3y agoJack is 46 years old... not really young at this point.
- astrange 3y ago"like (young Steve Jobs)" not "like young (Steve Jobs)"
- refulgentis 3y agoThe Bilton book was extremely illuminating on Dorsey, I totally agree, which reminds, I have to read longform more often....
