The lending company SoFi has an offer out to Anthony Noto, Twitter's chief operating officer, for its open CEO seat, the Wall Street Journal reports. SoFi has been hunting for a CEO since Mike Cagney stepped down in 2017 amid sexual misconduct allegations.

Why it matters, per Axios' Sara Fischer: Noto hasn't accepted the offer yet, but it'll be a big loss for Twitter if he does.
