Jack Dorsey to Musk — “A new platform is needed. It can't be a company.”
Twitter's co-founder texts Musk his vision of a decentralized, open-source protocol funded by a foundation rather than a company.
Dorsey: Yes, a new platform is needed. It can't be a company. This is why I left.
Musk: Ok
Dorsey: I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn't own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like what Signal has done. It can't have an advertising model. Otherwise you have surface area that governments and advertisers will try to influence and control. If it has a centralized entity behind it, it will be attacked.
Musk: Super interesting idea
