Mr. Dorsey Regrets: Says Elon Musk Shouldn’t Have Bought Twitter After All

Internet • Views: 16,183

It’s a little late now, after what used to be a troubled but sometimes useful site has been turned into a chaotic right wing hellhole, but Jack Dorsey now says Elon Musk shouldn’t have bought Twitter after all.

Dorsey said he thought Musk, the Tesla CEO who serves in the same role at Twitter today, should have paid $1 billion to back out of the deal to acquire the social media platform. The comments are a stark reversal from Dorsey’s strong endorsement of Musk’s takeover, when he wrote a year ago that if Twitter had to be a company at all, “Elon is the singular solution I trust.”

“I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness,” Dorsey tweeted at the time.

In his remarks on Bluesky on Friday, Dorsey struck a far different tone.

Dorsey said he didn’t think Musk “acted right” after pursuing the site and realizing his potential mistake, adding that he did not believe the company’s board should have forced the sale.

“It all went south,” Dorsey added.
