Jack Dorsey leaves the board of the decentralized social network

 Jack Dorsey has left the Twitter board after supporting and funding Bluesky while serving as CEO of the social media platform. In 2019, Dorsey a co-founder of Twitter launched and provided funding for Bluesky. Blusky is a decentralized social media network. In a statement on the platform on May 5, Bluesky announced Dorsey’s departure, thanking him for his services and stating that they were looking for a replacement board member. Previously, Dorsey had simply answered “no” when asked on X if he was still involved with Bluesky. When asked to comment, a Bluesky representative cited the platform’s article; neither Bluesky nor Dorsey offered an explanation for his departure.

As all of this was going on, the early supporter of Bluesky was actively promoting his grants for open interest protocols on X and referring to the social network that Elon Musk now owns as “freedom technology.”

Dorsey’s Social Media Shift and Bluesky’s Emergence

Given that Dorsey continues to follow Musk and that he has endorsed X, it seems possible that the two have reconciled.

According to TechCrunch, Dorsey attacked Musk on Bluesky, claiming that the board shouldn’t have forced the sale on him because he was managing X poorly. While working as Twitter’s CEO in late 2019, Dorsey announced Bluesky, saying in a post that the company was “funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media.”Bluesky opened to the public on February 7, 2024, after going into beta in March 2023. By its admission, it has about 5.6 million users.
