Commenting on the acquisition of Twitter by the American billionaire Elon Musk, Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey said that Elon Musk "is the only solution I trust to restore Twitter as it was.. I am confident that his mission is to extend the light of awareness."
He added in a series of tweets on his Twitter account: "I love Twitter... Twitter is the closest thing we have to global awareness."
On Monday, Elon Musk won an agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion in a deal that will turn control of the platform, used by millions of global leaders, into the hands of the world's richest person.
It is noteworthy that after Dorsey stepped down from the presidency of "Twitter" in November 2021, he continued on the company's board of directors.
"Idea and service are all I care about, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect them. Twitter as a company has always been my only problem and my regret. It was owned by Wall Street. Getting it back from Wall Street...is the right first step."
Dorsey said, "In principle, I don't think anyone should own or run Twitter. It is the extension of the light of consciousness. It has to be a public good, not a company... Elon Musk is the only solution I can trust to get Twitter back to how it was... I'm confident that his mission."
He added that Elon Musk's goal is to create an "ultimately reliable and broadly inclusive" platform, describing it as "the right goal... this is the right path... I think so with all my heart."
Dorsey expressed his delight, saying, "I am very happy that Twitter will continue to serve public conversations around the world."
After nearly nine years of trading, the agreement ended Twitter's career as a public company since its initial public offering in 2013.
Twitter shares rose about 6% following the news of the agreement, while Tesla's shares fell after Musk's deal to buy Twitter.
Musk argued that Twitter needed to be private to grow into a genuine platform for freedom of expression.
The deal comes just four days after Musk unveiled a funding package to support the takeover, which led Twitter's board of directors to take the deal more seriously and prompted several shareholders to ask the company not to let the opportunity slip, Reuters reported on Sunday.
