Silver Lake, one of three investment firms that own SolarWinds, has a $1billion stake in Twitter
originally published by the New York Times, March 9, 2020:
"Twitter said on Monday that it reached a deal with Elliott Management, the activist investor that had called for ousting the social media company’s chief executive, Jack Dorsey.
The agreement will keep Dorsey atop Twitter — at least for now — at a crucial time for the social network. It also avoids a potentially costly fight with Elliott, the $40-billion hedge fund that has successfully shaken up many corporate boardrooms.
It also brings on board Silver Lake, one of Silicon Valley’s biggest investors in technology companies. Silver Lake agreed to invest $1 billion in Twitter, money that would help finance the buyback of $2 billion worth of stock."

Silver Lake was @Jack's lifeboat. The other shareholders were attempting to give him the boot.
