Jack Dorsey, one of the co-founders and former CEO of Twitter, has shown his support for the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, through the platform, assuring that this was the first step in the right direction to have a reliable and inclusive app. .

There are all kinds of people in the world, but in general, when a new boss arrives, he tends to be a bit of a jerk to make him like him. First impressions are important, and Jack Dorsey knows that, and even though he’s no longer part of the team, he wants to keep his presence noticed.

It has been through a Twitter thread, with six tweets, where Dorsey has given the “approval” to the appointment . In the first of the tweets, no mention is made, in fact, there are no words, only the Radiohead song “Everything is in the right place” (Everything is in its place). Following this, Dorsey gave his opinion on the appointment and why he believed that Elon Musk was the salvation of Twitter.

“I don’t think anyone should own or run Twitter. (Twitter) wants to be a public good at the protocol level, not a company. However, to solve the problem you have as a company, Elon is the only solution I trust. I trust your mission to spread the light of consciousness.” can be read in another of his tweets.

The idea and service is all that matters to me, and I will do whatever it takes to protect both. Twitter as a company has always been my sole issue and my biggest regret. It has been owned by Wall Street and the ad model. Taking it back from Wall Street is the correct first step.

Over the years, the app’s reliance on Wall Street money and the advertising model has been a problem that, according to Dorsey, Elon Musk was the only one who could save them . In turn, the former CEO of Twitter is confident that the new owner will achieve a platform that is totally reliable and inclusive , something that both he and the current CEO, Parag Agrawal, have wanted from the beginning.

Although it is true that public words are always very nice, and feelings can be something totally different. Because when he left his post in 2021, he only had high praise for Agrawal, the person responsible for many of the latest changes to the platform, many of them harshly criticized by the new owner of Twitter and the reason why he has decided to buy the social network. This makes us doubt a bit about the intentions of the co-founder of the platform.

For his part, the current CEO has not been as enthusiastic as Dorsey when commenting on Musk’s arrival on Twitter, but perhaps it is because if he is fired he would have to be compensated with 40 million dollars , so he is calmer, although according to Reuters , in a meeting with his employees, acknowledged that he did not know what the company’s direction would be after the purchase.
