Jack Dorsey says he can “understand” if present and former Twitter workers blame him for the state of the corporate below Elon Musk. The co-founder and former CEO of Twitter took to the platform on Saturday to say he was accountable for the scenario. “Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment,” Dorsey stated on Saturday. “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.”
Folks at Twitter previous and current are sturdy and resilient. They will at all times discover a method regardless of how tough the second. I understand many are offended with me. I personal the accountability for why everyone seems to be on this scenario: I grew the corporate dimension too shortly. I apologize for that.

Dorsey went on so as to add he was grateful to everybody who had ever labored at Twitter. “I don’t expect that to be mutual in this moment… or ever… and I understand,” he wrote. Dorsey posted the apology after The New York Post revealed a narrative earlier within the day claiming he’s now “hated at Twitter.” Many workers reportedly “blame” him for Musk’s takeover and the company-wide layoffs that can see about 50 p.c of Twitter’s workforce minimize.
The thread marks Dorsey’s first public touch upon Twitter since Musk closed his $44 billion deal to purchase the corporate on October twenty seventh. When the SpaceX founder first introduced the takeover, Dorsey put his help behind it. “Elon is the singular solution I trust,” he stated on the time. “This is the right path… I believe it with all my heart.” Dorsey was quiet after Musk tried to renege on the acquisition, however in texts that grew to become public in September, it grew to become clear that he had wished Musk to take a extra energetic function at Twitter for a while.
