Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey appears to be keenly watching Elon Musk as he continues to aggressively remodel the social media network.
Jack Dorsey tweeted this morning, “no one knows anything,” in an apparent allusion to the microblogging platform.
The billionaire responded, “Magic knows it all,” after concluding the $44 billion purchase of the company in late October.
This follows a wave of confusion caused by impersonation that occurred after a change to Twitter’s “blue tick” verification system.
The first two weeks of Musk’s ownership of Twitter have been characterized by quick change and volatility. Musk and Dorsey got into a fight last week over the “Birdwatch” function and the goals of the social media network.
Musk stated in a tweet on November 7th, that Twitter must develop into the most reliable source of global news.
He said: “Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission.”
“Accurate to who?” Dorsey replied.
Following this discussion, Musk and Dorsey traded tweets on the function that the billionaire had rebranded as “Community Notes.”
As part of the new owner’s ambitious makeover strategy, Dorsey has already apologized to its Twitter employees after cutting close to 50% of the workforce.
Dorsey said he regrets expanding the micro-blogging platform too quickly.
“Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that,” Dorsey tweeted.
“I am grateful for, and love, everyone who has ever worked on Twitter. I don’t expect that to be mutual in this moment…or ever…and I understand,” he added.
Jack Dorsey ended his formal affiliation with the social network he co-founded in 2006 when he resigned from the Twitter board in May of this year. Since 2007, he has served as a director. Most recently, from mid-2015 until last year, he served as CEO of Twitter.
