Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk’s texts criticize the Twitter board

But the Tesla The CEO’s first foray into the social media space may prove short-lived. After striking a $44 billion deal last April to buy Twitter, Musk tried to take from it since Julyciting an unverifiable number of spam accounts on the platform.

With his court date scheduled for next month in Delaware, details continue to emerge about the tumultuous few months, including Musk agreed to sit on the company’s board before suddenly changing his mind and chose instead to buy all the remaining shares of Twitter to take the company private.

Musk made it clear that when he became the sole owner of Twitter—or, now, when he was a judge constrained he’ll continue to buy anyway—he’ll bring some big changes the social media network and how the company is run. And new evidence reveals how much Twitter cofounder and former CEO Jack Dorsey, who descends from the company’s board in May, wants to see changes take place.

“The board is terrible,” Dorsey WRITES to Musk in a text message, one of many that was collected and disclosed this week as part of the pretrial discovery process.

Dorsey’s text—dated April 5, the day Twitter announced Musk as a new board member—saved only the company’s CEO Parag Agrawal, whom Dorsey called “an amazing engineer.”

But while the takeover deal dragged on and on tensions arise between Musk and the Twitter board, Dorsey made his true feelings about Agrawal and other Twitter boards known in a series of messages criticizing the cautious nature of the board, while painting the Musk as the savior the company has been waiting for.

Dorsey and Twitter’s board

In texts sent to Musk in March, Dorsey revealed that he had trying to get him approved to the board earlier in 2020, which the board rejected. Dorsey criticized Twitter’s board for being “risk-averse” and said they refused to bring on a figure like Musk because they felt it would create “more risk” for the company.

It wasn’t the last time Dorsey criticized the Twitter board in his text exchanges with Musk.

On April 25, Dorsey defended Agrawal as “very good at getting things done when given specific direction,” but the next day, apparently after a board meeting, Musk texted Dorsey that the two is in “complete agreement” with Agrawal, especially that the Twitter CEO “moves very slowly and tries to please people who will not be happy no matter what he does.”

Dorsey responded about two hours later: “It’s become clear that you’re not going to work together. That’s clear.”

Unpredictable Musk

As CEO and founder of Tesla and SpaceXElon Musk has made a name for himself as a tough, unforgiving, and sometimes even quick boss.

Last June, Musk ordered all white-collar workers at Tesla back to the office full-time, warned that those who don’t “can’t pretend to be working somewhere else.” He expects long working hours, ready to work more than 120 hours per week on his ownand once allegedly worked a 24-hour day—on his birthday.

Musk’s unique leadership style has gotten him into hot water with his own companies at times. A Twitter battle could send Tesla stock price plummeting or cryptocurrencies are risingand the shareholders of his businesses have The judges were even asked to cut off his Twitter feed.

Musk’s unpredictability as a person and as a boss has alienated some Twitter employees concerned last spring he took over meant a complete change of culture, including a return to the office and a more difficult work environment in general.

But while Twitter employees are worried, Jack Dorsey seems to be eagerly waiting for Musk to join Twitter for a long time. In April, shortly after the acquisition deal was announced, Dorsey The board was heavily criticized on Twittersaying that “this is always the company’s downfall.”

A week ago, Dorsey publicly vouched for Musk as the right person to take the company forward by first taking it private. “Elon is the only solution I trust. I trust his mission to expand the light of consciousness,” Dorsey WRITES.
