Elliott Management Corp. has taken a big stake in Twitter Inc. and will push for changes at the social media company, including replacing Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey, according to a Bloomberg News report.

Representatives for Elliott and Twitter declined to comment to Bloomberg.
Twitter has long been a target for activist investors. Co-founder Dorsey doesn’t have voting control of the company like Facebook Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, because of only one class of stock. The company’s governance has been criticized for a while, as Dorsey is also CEO of Square Inc. The company’s stock has been largely flat while other social media outlets have soared.
