Financial Times: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of Twitter’s earliest and biggest shareholders, said he did not support Jack Dorsey becoming permanent CEO of the messaging platform. The Saudi billionaire said Twitter needed a new leader with extensive marketing experience, who would prioritize winning new users. He said Dorsey should return to his job running Square, the mobile payments company. “Jack has another company called Square which requires a lot of attention and a full-time job round there. I believe and trust that Jack Dorsey is there on a temporary basis. The new leader has to have tech savviness, an investor-oriented process and a marketing mentality.”
