I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
I thought Dorsey started as an intern and did some ousting himself to get where he wasDorsey never wanted those Indians.
Those execs were brought in by Paul Singer. They eventually led to Dorsey being ousted from the company he created.

Dorsey started out as an Intern for a company called Odeo where he came up with the idea of Twitter and developed it with the founders of Odeo. They decided to branch out and create Twitter as its own company with Dorsey as the CEO.I thought Dorsey started as an intern and did some ousting himself to get where he was
Dorsey came up the concept, developed the original prototype, and was the original CEO. He was the dominant figure in the founding of Twitter. The guy they ousted was Noah Glass, who co-founded Odeo.
How when it’s the OG Twitter creator who’s doing it
You expect this man to make another Twitter overnight?
Not happening. He’ll be lucky if this new venture is even half as significant as Twitter in five years.
As far as I can tell MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, Reddit, Tumblr, Snapchat and Tiktok were all created by someone different. You’ll have to reprise me on a person who created multiple top social media apps. It doesn’t work like that. You can’t just make another HOV.How when it’s the OG Twitter creator who’s doing it

You're trippin. They're nothing alike lol. Jack was out in Ferguson on Day 1 after Mike Brown got killed. Jack partnered with Jay Z to start a crypto school in Brooklyn and give away Bitcoin to students. One is actually "African" but hasn't done shyt for Africans. Define people by their actions.

and heartless behavior. 
Like I said, this was always a back room deal.really out here making excuses for his boy erratic,
And it says more about Jack than Elon.
Jack is really playing some 3-D chess as @puppetmaster because he knew how Elon would react to the acquisition of twitter.
And look how dude casually wipe his hands of the situation with a simple sorry about over hiring.
I really can't fukk wit Jack now.
Elon is going be Elon, but now I feel like he manipulated egotistical Elon.

Jack Dorsey departs Bluesky board

Bluesky’s most prominent backer has left its board.
On Saturday, Jack Dorsey posted on X about grants for open protocols from his philanthropic Start Small initiative. This prompted someone to ask Dorsey if he was still on the Bluesky board, and he responded with a terse “no.” Dorsey did not answer any of the follow-up posts asking him to explain his departure.
It’s not clear when Dorsey left the board; as of Sunday morning, Bluesky’s corporate FAQ still identified him as a board member. Later that afternoon, the company published the following statement:
Dorsey first announced Bluesky in 2019, back when he was still CEO of Twitter. He wrote that Twitter (now X) was “funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media.”
Since then, Bluesky has become an independent public benefit corporation, led by CEO Jay Graber, with VC backing, and it opened to the general public in February.
Dorsey appears to have deleted his Bluesky account at some point last year, though his departure was only acknowledged at the time by a smattering of social media posts. (He also deleted his Instagram account.) Despite this, he remained the biggest name associated with the project.
Back on X, Dorsey has had a pretty active weekend. In addition to dropping corporate news, he’s also weighed in on the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, unfollowed nearly every other account, and posted, “don’t depend on corporations to grant you rights. defend them yourself using freedom technology. (you’re on one).”
This story has been updated with a statement from Bluesky confirming Dorsey’s departure.

After deleting his #Bluesky account last year, Jack Dorsey has since reportedly left the board. Honestly? Good riddance. He never had any operational role in Bluesky. He was the one who pushed for Elon Musk to buy #Twitter, a truly successful move as we all know. He himself has been an awful...

i used to look up to him but can’t fathom why he’s doing all these things. is there a mission/agenda? or is he burnt out / disgruntled and doing things out of whim? no hard feelings now that he unfollowed most people, including me.

Because he groused publicly (iirc) that they focused on the app and not the protocol and then he started looking at nostr. Just like he was getting pushed at Twitter bc the stock sucked so he worked w Elon to take over. An easy guess to say it’s about feeling slighted. Hard to contend it’s about...
