> Jack Dorsey ... probably left Twitter to focus more on Block.

I don't think he was fired by the Twitter board, exactly. But given the increasing conflict of interest between being CEO of Twitter and his use of Twitter as a place to promote crypto (thereby increasing the value of whatever interest he personally or Square has in crypto), it's not hard to imagine that the Twitter board told him that it was time to end one activity or the other. Though it looked sudden from the outside, it's clear this was all carefully orchestrated.

Moreover, certain Twitter investors had (rightly) been complaining about the arrangement for a while.

Surely the board cares much more about the abysmal performance of Twitter's stock price compared to other big tech names than whether Dorsey tweets about bitcoin.
