Dorsey co-founded Twitter with Ev Williams in 2006. A year later, he was named the CEO of the company. However, barely a year later, Williams and board member Fred Wilson pushed out Dorsey as the micro-blogging site gained traction and users. He was removed from the CEO's post citing that he was unfit to lead. Over the years, Twitter growth stagnated. in 2015, Dorsey returned as Twitter CEO. Call for Dorsey's exit sprung up in early 2020, after hedge fund manager Elliott Management Corp claimed that he was giving little attention to Twitter while at the same time operating payments processing company Square Inc. Somehow, Dorsey managed to de-escalate the crisis and hold on to his post.
