Elon Musk is not doing right for Twitter: Jack Dorsey

New Delhi: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has admitted that the micro-blogging platform is performing poorly under Elon Musk, and blamed the Twitter board for forcing a $44 billion sale to the Tesla CEO. Dorsey now uses his new micro-blogging platform called BlueSky which is now available for Android users.

In response to a question from BlueSky user Jason Goldman whether he thought Musk turned out to be the ‘best possible’ steward for the platform, Dorsey said: “No. Nor do I think he did it after realizing his timing was bad.” It did the right thing. Nor do I think the board should have been forced into the sale. It all went south”. ,Also Read: AI Creates Images Of PM Narendra Modi, Other Global Leaders As Rockstars To Wow Netizens,

“But it happened and all we can do now is create something to avoid it happening again. So I’m happy that Jay and the team and most of the developers are out there and making it happen,” Dorsey said. ,Also read: Uday Kotak calls US dollar ‘biggest financial terrorist’, later clarifies,

He also said that Twitter “will never survive as a public company”. After completing a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, Musk has taken it private.

BlueSky, backed by Dorsey, offers a number of new features and was initially launched in February for iOS users in a closed beta.

The platform aims to give users algorithmic choice and includes basic tools to track likes or bookmarks, edit tweets, quote-tweet, DM, use hashtags, and more.

The app offers a simplified user interface where you can click on the plus button to create a post of up to 256 characters, which can include photos. While Twitter asks “What’s up?”, BlueSky asks “What’s up?”

The Bluesky project originated in 2019 with Twitter, but the company was founded in 2022 as an independent company focused on decentralized social network R&D.

BlueSky received $13 million in funding last year with Dorsey on its board.
