Maybe his mistakes with Twitter is exactly how he came to realise the importance of not letting giant corporations rule over the social networks we all rely on. Twitter, GitHub, and so on and so forth.
- duxup 4y agoI’m always skeptical of “I learned after I got mine...”. The motivation, vision just never seems to be there.
- Nextgrid 4y agoHe was CEO until end of 2021 which is way after the harms of centralized, for-profit, ad-supported social media were clearly visible, both at Twitter and its competitors. If he wanted to rectify his "mistake" he could've at least attempted to do so, yet I see no signs of that, so I'm not buying this story. My opinion is that he got rich of shitting in and poisoning the centralized social media well for everyone else, and now wants to double-dip and do the same for (supposedly) decentralized networks while garnering sympathy about how he supposedly made a "mistake".

Destroy a public company with a lot of shareholders? Removing the centralization in Twitter and adding the levels of censorship resistance her prefers would have been a massive gamble with a high probability of failure and would have eventually gotten him ousted. IMO the only way he could proceed is build on a clean slate without destroying the existing value it took a decade to accrue.
