Jack was, quite famously, half-assing his leadership of Twitter for years. There was no secret, it was constantly discussed here on HN: how Jack’s inability to lead can be described as an “amazing subplot” rather than an embarrassing stain on Jack is beyond me — I guess because Elon loves Jack, this has to be framed positively?
- mikkergp 4y agoThis part is weird, and it seems like there was an agreement between Musk and Matt not to smear Jack in this process. But if you really think there’s massive corruption at Twitter I don’t know how you think Jack should be absolved.
- lapcat 4y ago> it seems like there was an agreement between Musk and Matt not to smear Jack in this process Jack is still a part-owner of Twitter. https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-saves-elon-musk-1billion-rolling-over-twitter-shares-2022-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-saves-elon-musk-...
- fullshark 4y agoThat part just shows that even explosive news like this is really just PR work. Pretty much every major news story can be reduced to “who is willing to finally talk about X and what do they want to convey?”
- lapcat 4y agoAgreed. It was obvious that Jack had been checked out of Twitter for a long time and focused almost entirely on Square/Block.
