Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has criticized Elon Musk’s leadership of Twitter, stating that Musk has not proved to be the platform’s ideal steward. Dorsey, who helped start potential Twitter rival Bluesky, expressed his disappointment in a series of reply posts on the platform. The remarks reflect a growing backlash against Musk’s tumultuous tenure, which has led to advertisers fleeing and users searching for alternatives. Dorsey added that he regretted selling Twitter to Musk, and suggested that Musk should have paid $1 billion to back out of the deal to acquire the social media platform. These criticisms represent a stark reversal from Dorsey’s strong endorsement of Musk’s takeover a year ago. Despite Musk’s recent appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher” on HBO, he has not responded to Dorsey’s remarks. Musk took over Twitter in October after mounting a hostile takeover attempt in April, with the Twitter board accepting Musk’s buyout that would take the company private.
