The former CEO and Co-Founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey officially calling it quits at Twitter…
On Wednesday, May 25, 2022, Dorsey stepped down from Twitter’s board. He left his role as the CEO of the company last year, and his plan of leaving the company’s board has been in place since then.
The most popular microblogging platform is going through turmoil – along with Elon Musk’s plans to take over the platform and Dorsey leaving the board.
Since its launch in 2006, Dorsey has played a key role in the platform’s leadership. He led the platform for sixteen years till he resigned as the CEO in November 2021.
At the time, Twitter announced that Dorsey will be a part of the board until the 2022 meeting of shareholders. Dorsey did not stand for re-election at Twitter’s board during the 2022 shareholders’ meeting that ended on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, leftists targeted Dorsey for agreeing with Musk’s opinion that banning former President Donald Trump from the social media platform was a poor decision.
Musk said at a Financial Times conference on Tuesday that Banning Trump from Twitter “was a morally bad decision, to be clear, and foolish in the extreme.” Musk was quick to state that former CEO and founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey agreed.
Here’s what Dorsey wrote, “I do agree. There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behavior, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work.”
I do agree. There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behaviour, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work, which I wrote about here after the event (and called for a resilient social media protocol): https://t.co/fQ9KnrCQGX

The Gateway Pundit added:
Dorsey then pointed back to a statement from January 13, 2021, shortly after the platform banned President Trump. In the statement, he expressed regret for the “business decision.”
Musk has repeatedly acknowledged that he does not yet own Twitter. He has been sure to point out that any plans to reinstate Trump’s account are still theoretical.
“This is not like a thing that will definitely happen,” he said during the live event.
The commentary of Musk and Dorsey both answer questions that have been lingering since Musk made his offer to purchase the platform in April. Many have wondered if he would reinstate users such as Trump. Musk has repeatedly stated that he intends to “unlock” the platform’s potential by easing what he sees as unfair restrictions on free speech.
