Twitter's Co-Founder Gets $1.40 Salary in Nod to Old Character Limit

[50 shades of black + 254]

Twitter Inc. co-founder Jack Dorsey received his first salary since returning to the chief executive officer role four years ago: 140 cents. The conspicuously modest sum, disclosed Monday in a regulatory filing, equals the original character limit for tweets on the company’s social network, a restriction the San Francisco-based firm scrapped in 2017 to boost user engagement. Dorsey has for years elected to not receive any salary, bonuses or stock awards from Twitter “as a testament to his commitment to and belief in Twitter’s long-term value creation potential,” the filing said.
The 140-character limit -- a relic of a previous technological era -- was the maximum that could fit in mobile text messages when the service started in 2006, before the mass adoption of smartphones.
