Jack Dorsey has denied the rumors related to his possible appointment as the new CEO of Twitter once Elon Musk manages to acquire the entire platform for 44,000 million dollars. The founder of the social network, and who was also the head of the company until just a few months ago, has assured that he will never run the company again.
“Nah, I’ll never be CEO again”, Jack Dorsey has assured when responding to a tweet in which a user predicted that Elon Musk was going to propose the position to the now head of Square. Dorsey tweeted again in response to a user who asked if, despite this, would like to run Twitter again. “Nah. It’s time to roll the dice again,” said Jack Dorsey, suggesting that he prefers to focus on other projects.
