The battle is really getting the question of a part-time CEO on the agenda, which requires replacing a few Board members. Given how unusual Twitter's Board dynamics are, there's a good chance proxy advisers would recommend voting for reforms.

It could be Jack retreating to a Chairmanship, it could be him committing more hours to Twitter, it could be him hiring a President. > there's really no meat on the bones there Weibo has effectively bootstrapped a separate platform on its Twitter clone. And ByteDance outvalues Twitter on what is essentially a re-jiggered Vine. This is oversimplifying. But Twitter's only options aren't more ads or languishing with distracted leadership.
