Twitter Files: Jack Dorsey breaks his silence and responds to Elon Musk
“There’s nothing to hide”
The “ Twitter Files ” have taken the social media world by storm. With Elon Musk’s blessing, independent journalists have access to the internal communications of Twitter executives about the operation of the platform, resulting in near-daily revelations about how executives handled critical moments at the company before Elon Musk took office. such as for example the removal of the former President of the USA , Donald Trump from the platform.
Now, for the first time, Jack Dorsey is breaking his silence and responding to Elon Musk with a lengthy letter . The co-founder and former CEO of Twitter believes that the company has nothing to hide, contrary to the way the Twitter Files have been presented to the world.
The Twitter Files has a conspiracy tone about Twitter’s old management, accusing them of making decisions in collusion with the government to silence Twitter users. Dorsey vehemently disagrees and says that mistakes were simply made, with no intent by Twitter or hidden agendas, with everyone then acting the best they could based on the information they had.
Dorsey also questions the selection of the specific journalists who were given access to the files. Still, he wishes Twitter would ” become uncomfortably transparent in all its actions, ” while stressing that the Twitter Files need to be seen by more people in order to be interpreted. Essentially, he believes that specific files were selected from the communications to be used by Musk and others to attack former Twitter staff and calls for full transparency.
Dorsey’s post is not only about Twitter, since through it he reveals that he will fund the encrypted messaging service Signal with $1 million a year . He also revealed that he is working on a new decentralized social media protocol called Bluesky , which is based on Dorsey’s idea of how a social media should work.
