After confirmation that Elon Musk had bought Twitter in a $44 billion deal, founder Jack Dorsey praised the entrepreneur for “taking it back from Wall Street”.
Following Musk’s purchase of the social media network, which prompted a deluge of hysteria from censorship-happy leftists, Dorsey outlined his response in a lengthy tweet thread.
“Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is ‘maximally trusted and broadly inclusive’ is the right one,” wrote Dorsey. “This is also [Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal’s] goal, and why I chose him. Thank you both for getting the company out of an impossible situation. This is the right path… I believe it with all my heart.”
The Twitter founder went on to assert that while the platform should ideally not be owned by a single person, Musk “is the singular solution I trust” to help it recover.

Noting that as of now, Twitter is “owned by Wall Street and the ad model,” Dorsey said it was vital to “protect” the platform because it is “the closest thing we have to a global consciousness.”
“Taking it back from Wall Street is the correct first step,” wrote Dorsey, adding that with Musk leading the way, “Twitter will continue to serve the public conversation.”
It remains to be seen whether that conversation will include prominent individuals previously banned by Twitter, such as President Trump or Alex Jones and many others.
A number of people who previously had their accounts suspended, including Tommy Robinson, attempted to rejoin the site last night but were swiftly banned once again.
Now let’s see if free speech will be valued as promised and shadow banning will finally end. In case you didn’t know, Twitter invented this thing known as “shadow banning” back in 2018 where despite not having your account banned and removed from Twitter, your tweets wouldn’t reach much of an audience as they won’t be shown in Twitter feeds, suggested or recommended.
While still being on the platform and not outright banned, being on the platform meant almost nothing as the shadow banned accounts were basically put in an echo chamber where they spoke to themselves.
If Elon Musk will keep his promises we are applauding his efforts of course but we don’t know, we will see. Many people promised many things and rarely delivered…. so we will see in time.
