Twitter's (TWTR) - The destiny report may be hanging in the balance.
The world is likely to look forward to an unprecedented conflict between East and West.
But for hipster executives atop notable companies, the important thing is to have the right job title.
There is no longer a definition of “chief executive” or “chief financial officer” sufficient to indicate the power, prominence and status of a section.
If you really are top, you should be able to show off the meeting and separate yourself from the crowd with a truly unique label.
Musk's wishes for Royalty
Elon Musk - already - started this thing last year when he officially changed his title at Tesla (TSLA) - from Tesla Inc and chief financial officer of EV producer.
Tesla said on March 15, 2021, in a file with the Security and Trade Commission that "From March 15, 2021, the titles of Elon Musk and Zach Kirkhorn have changed into Technoking of Tesla and Master of Coin, respectively."
The company quickly added, however, that "Elon and Zach will once again hold their positions as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer."
Zuck's Take
Mark Zuckerberg took this idea another way.
Zuckerberg is famous for separating himself from Wall Street by wearing hoodies for business meetings while Facebook prepares its IPO. Nearly $ 500 billion in market capitalization later, all that youth bullying has long been forgiven or forgotten.
But when things started to heat up recently with how Facebook's business model relied on algorithms that increase disinformation and conspiracy theories, Zuckerberg focused on a brilliant vision.
You just changed the company name. And not just in any word, but something vague and hard to describe: Meta.
It seemed an inspired decision. As the world continues to struggle to understand and explain what metaverse is - visual hyperware perhaps? - disruption and confusion helped facilitate the mass distribution of vitriol targeted at the company.
Chip Of The Old ...
In December, Twitter founder and cryptocurrency activist Jack Dorsey resigned his position as CEO of a communications company to focus on his other role as CEO of Square.
At the same time, Square name - but not its own tick - was changed to Block (SQ) - Get a Class Inc. Class Report
Apparently, the idea was to connect the mobile payment company very closely with its desires, or at least Dorsey's, cryptocurrency.
Now, with the full gathering coming, Dorsey has moved on and changed his title in Block.
He will no longer be the CEO.
No, according to the SEC filing Friday, Dorsey is now going to be the "Head" of the Block.
Got it?
Block?
Head?
Block Head?
She's so cute, huh?
Of course, Block's board had to jump a few hoops to remove the "requirement to have an official named Chief Executive and President," according to the file.
And, in accordance with tradition, Dorsey will continue to serve as "Chairman."
However, should anyone be concerned, "there will be no change in Mr. Dorsey's duties and responsibilities, and he will continue to serve as the Company's chief executive officer."
Oh, and on Saturday, Musk posted his authorization on Twitter.
