Could just be that Kayvon Beykpour got replaced by someone better at the job? Baseball fans know of Wally Pipp, who was a solid first baseman for the Yankees for a decade or so. One day Pipp had a headache and was replaced in the lineup by a young Lou Gehrig, who turned out to be one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. I have no idea if Jay Sullivan is a Lou Gehrig talent, but he's been doing the job while Beykpour is on paternity leave. If you're the CEO of Twitter and you believe the temp guy is doing a better job, why not make the change?

"If you're the CEO of Twitter and you believe the temp guy is doing a better job, why not make the change?" Well, it's a big lawsuit, for one thing. Firing someone on paternity leave is not a great plan in the US. At this level, a company may just accept that as a cost of doing business. But this is at least an answer to your question.

All I know is that Jay Sullivan has tweeted less than 700 times in his life, which does not suggest fantastic engagement with the product he’s supposed to be leading. https://mobile.twitter.com/jaysullivan/status/1513865321941110789 https://mobile.twitter.com/jaysullivan/status/15138653219411...
