Ryan Selkis, CEO of Messari, has resigned following a series of controversial tweets. Selkis, a known Trump supporter, posted inflammatory messages on social media calling for deportation of green card holders, criticizing Vitalik Buterin, and expressing aggressive political views, including mentions of civil war. These tweets came in the wake of an attempted assassination of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The backlash from these posts led to significant pressure on Selkis, resulting in his decision to step down. Eric Turner, the chief revenue officer of Messari, will serve as interim CEO.
