The planned purchase of the social media company by Musk was fully endorsed by Jack Dorsey. Musk will pay $44 billion to take the company private. It's interesting that the man who sent the platform's first ever tweet in 2006 would say that, despite being no longer the CEO and having little say in the matter.
I love to follow people on social media. In a second message, he said that the closest thing we have to a global consciousness is on the micro-messaging service.
The idea and service are all that matters to me, and I will do everything I can to protect them. My biggest regret is that I didn't do a better job as a company. Wall Street has owned it. Taking it back from Wall Street is the correct first step.
Then he explained that he doesn't think anyone should own the social network. If anyone is going to own it, Musk is the person to do it.
I don't believe anyone should own or run the social networking site. It wants to be a public good, not a company. The singular solution I trust the most is the one that solved the problem of the company being a company. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.
It's easy for Dorsey to say that nobody should own a social network. Private ownership of the platform he helped create has helped to make him a $7.3 billion net worth.
Strangely, he went on to insist that the current CEO was doing a great job and that his vision for the company was the same as Musk's.
Elon's goal of creating a platform that is broadly inclusive is the right one. This is also the goal ofparaga, and why I chose him. The company was out of an impossible situation. This is the right path and I believe it with my heart.
If you read Musk's filings with the SEC, he doesn't agree with the idea that the corporate leadership is on the right path. If his hostile takeover bid failed, Musk threatened to sell his 9.2% of the company.
If the deal doesn't work, I would need to rethink my position as a shareholder.
Musk said in his SEC filing that this is not a threat and that changes need to be made.
Even if they don't agree on who should lead the platform, they have the same approach. The difference with Musk is that he blocks people he doesn't agree with on the platform, whereas Dorsey doesn't take criticism in stride.
I'm happy that the public conversation will continue on the social networking site. Around the world, and into the stars!
