Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo Is Stepping Down
I don't think he can do that to Square and their investors as nice as the story sounds.

He has ran both companies simultaneously in the past via 16 hour work days:

How do you know? Plenty of people work 16 hour days. Of course, it's not for everyone, but it's tough to say what's sustainable for someone else.

He'd probably rather run Twitter if forced to choose.

Do what, leave them? Or return to them after this?

Spend any real significant time with split duties. Most of his investors would say "We didn't put $x in this with the understanding that you were going to be a 50% CEO/leader"
