Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey said he agrees with Elon Musk’s decision to lift the platform’s ban on former president Donald Trump.
Musk was at a conference in London when he said, “I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump.”
The billionaire and Tesla founder said Dorsey, who was CEO until November 2021, agreed with him.
While responding to Axios business editor Dan Primack’s tweet—addressing the same—on Tuesday, Dorsey said, “I do agree. There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behaviour, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours…”
Musk is in the process of completing his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, and on Tuesday revealed he intended to revoke the ban on Trump, who was removed from the micro-blogging website in January 2021 in response to his supporters storming the US Capitol.
