"#Dorsey approved of #Bluesky being formed as a fully independent company in late 2021. All he wanted was a form of #socialmedia that could evade capture or control altogether, be it by advertisers, Wall Street raiders, politicians, or shareholders. A month after #Graber's lawyers signed off on the Bluesky paperwork, Dorsey handed Twitter over to #Agrawal."

"That one man could accumulate such a fortune, much less be willing to spend it on a company for #ideological or #personal reasons, was a testament to the world's widening wealth #inequality. This simply wasn't what the elite did with their money. To buy and operate a global corporation for one's own pleasure was unheard of. Musk was breaking the rules of what it meant to be rich."

#ProjectSaturn: ""We define the #attentioneconomy on #socialmedia. Speech on the internet is already free, but reach isn't and it shouldn't be."

"He is really great at getting things done when tasked with specific direction," Dorsey wrote.. Musk began directing Agrawal: Fire #Gadde. He viewed her as the architect of Twitter's #censorshipregime.
Agrawal refused."
