Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, criticized Elon Musk in Twitter's popular alternative, Bluesky. Dorsey argued that Musk should not have bought the social media platform.
When asked if he thought Musk was the "best solution" for the platform he founded, the 46-year-old businessman answered "No" and said:
"I don't think he did the right thing either after realizing the timing was bad or that the board had to force the sale. Everything went bad."
Dorsey argued that companies like Twitter can be "sold to the highest bidder" and that the board had no choice but to accept Musk's offer:
"Was I optimistic? Yes. Did I have the final say? No. I wish the board hadn't forced the sale."
Dorsey said Musk should have paid the $1 billion fine and backed out of the deal.
After purchasing Twitter in October 2022, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk made many changes to the platform.
More than 3,700 employees were fired or left in the early days.
The blue checkmark, which signifies a verified account, became a paid feature.
Accounts previously banned, including those of former US President Donald Trump and rapper Kanye West, were reopened.
"Elon, the only solution I trust"
In April 2022, Dorsey had expressed support for Musk during the acquisition process.
Dorsey argued that the platform should be taken back from Wall Street and considered Musk's offer as an important step towards that goal, saying, "Elon, the only solution I trust."
