Jack Dorsey source: ‘Everyone at Twitter hates him (Dorsey) now’
NY POST ^ | November 5, 2022 | By Dana Kennedy and Michael Kaplan

Dorsey may not be a lightning rod for controversy like Musk, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates, or be perceived as socially awkward like Mark Zuckerberg, but it’s a mistake to think he’s any less Machiavellian or megalomaniacal than the rest of them, several sources who know Dorsey told The Post.

“He was at one point the lowest person in the room at Twitter and then, because he wanted to be the most important person in the room, he was — and he ended up being CEO,” said author Nick Bilton, who spent time with Dorsey for “Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power Friendship and Betrayal,” his 2014 book.

“He had three co-founders who have sort of been erased from the history of Twitter, both publicly and financially. When he left this last time he blamed the problems at Twitter on other people. Even though he was on the board and was the CEO! He is incredibly adept at boardroom politics and fending off coups against him.”

In the league of legends of Silicon Valley, Jack Dorsey — the co-founder of Twitter who stepped down as CEO a year ago this month — has long had a reputation as the cool hippie with the beard who likes to go off and meditate in between dating models and fasting.

Those who know the never-married and childless Dorsey say he has sharp elbows in addition to brains, and that his life and career post-Twitter should not be underestimated. He is currently worth a little less than $4 billion.

“Jack is hated at Twitter,” a source familiar with the situation told The Post. “They blame what happened with Elon taking over the company on Jack. Parag [Agrawal, the recently-ousted head of Twitter] and the board think he is this really bad character.

These delusional hippie communist pieces of crap children think that the company belongs to them. What part of your only an employee don’t they understand? It’s like me working at a bank and I’ve been there for years and all of a sudden management changes and I’m having a freaking cow and crying and throwing my tantrum …well folks you know what they’re gonna do to me? Yep! Well they’ll just give me my walking papers and kick my butt out to the street. So who the hell owns this company the employees or musk? Grow a pair Mr. musk and fire them all out. There is plenty of good hard-working men and women who love this country and believe in fairness out there to be employed! So go at it!

What a load of nonsense.
Agrawal took Musk to court to force Musk to buy Twitter, but then this article claims the Twits “hate” Dorsey for handing over to Agrawal?
Did they company when Agrawal took over? Nope.
