"Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient," he."They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that."."I don't expect that to be mutual in this moment...or ever…and I understand."for $44 billion a week ago, his team has made a series of changes.

Many worry that overhauling Twitter will lead to an explosion of hate speech and spam on the platform. Under Musk's ownership, Twitter has seen a significant

So let me get this right! The new owner of Twitter brought twitter so that he can get the Machiavellian Republicans voted on through this Platform! 'WOW?' who would've thought? Well now you know that twitter is going down the tubes or should go down the tubes! Hello?

If he was truly sorry, he’d give them severance pay from the 44 million he made off the deal… GREED at its finest!

The inmates are running the asylum

Forget his lame apology,he made Billions, and he should have made provisions for his workers and now he should give them some compensation since he has the means to do so.

Too little too late.

No one is more responsible for putting that dementia patient in the WH. He should be ashamed of that.

For hiring too many people

Why should he apologize?

his $$

That wasn’t an apology and he’s still a part owner of twitter.

Hey Jack why don’t you send them some if your millions that you made selling Twitter

And then he divided the millions he made on the sale equally among them to compensate for abandoning them to an ego-head. Or not.

Them unemployment checks gonna be fat

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Biden's hiring, all positions open.

Too late!

They Did It To Themselves. Jack Just Allowed Them To Destroy Free Speech And Twitter In The Process, Lied About It For Years, Then Elon Bought The Turd And Is(For The Moment)Making Positive Changes... Upholding The TOS As Well, Which Haven't Changed...

This makes me want to forgive him for all the money I've lost investing in Block. I like warm-blooded animals.

It was not an apology. The dude is a total egomaniac.

Now that he apologized, I bet their lives are better.

That's misleading. Jack Dorsey apologized for HIRING people. For example, he thinks it was right for E.M. to fire Twitter's entire Human Rights Team, because he never should have hired that team in the first place.

Dorky should be tried and convicted of treason for violating the 1st amendment right of millions of Americans.

I don't think hog rings matter.

Do you really think he cares if he did he would not have sold it

jack go away and shut up.

This tweet may be somewhat misleading about what's happening and who is doing it. Like maybe Dorsey could have done more to prevent the sale of twitter. But Elon Musk did the lay offs

Another inflammatory headline- Dorsey knew his business model caused a company that could not become profitable…

Turning twitter into a reliable source for propaganda and information suppression for the democrats is what ruined the platform.

Why? Their the ones that destroyed the great original twitter experience of old, fire them! Enemies of Democracy and free speech.

Yeah, well I’m sure they are fine now yup, so much better…

Right..Jack apologized all the way to the bank.

I would just like to apologize for leading you all on and making you think that you were needed and to show my affection I will be blowing all these Benjamin’s like a motha cause I have more money then you can fathom.

I'm sorry too.... just before the holidays. ☹☹☹

That's what new owners do and who don't like it to bad

He got his money 😂🤣😂

It was working just fine and you know it. His firing of staff isn’t because you had too many. Don’t allow this narrative any space.

I didnt know John Krasinski owned Twitter!

Why don't you send each of them some of that $44 billion, show how sorry you are. Don't just say it.

He admits the place was top heavy.

brat2381 while he counts his windfall from the stock pump Musk gave twitter last year? He's a con man just like Musk but wants to make himself look better now. Too little, too late. He's just as bad as apartheid clyde.

When the Warner Media CEO is apologized after the layoffs of thousands of workers around the world, product of its merger with Warner Discovery, take only the cases that suits them not? How much mediatic hypocrisy

Does the story end with him sharing some of his huge profit with those who lost their jobs?

He should be apologizing to the Twitter users he thoughtlessly tossed off during the last 4 years.

When you have a team of employees shadow banning people because they don't agree with conservative talking points. Red pill content and manosphere content. But uplift toxic feminist propaganda ideology. Calling all white people racist and the hypocrisy of them not doing anything.

Well then...give em half your payout ...oh wait....You don't feel that sorry for them! Twitter ElonMusk ElonMuskBuyTwitter

Sorry but he's still rolling around on piles of money.

Yeah I'm sure that will make everyone feel better.

Unless apology

As he ran to the bank with a wheelbarrow laughing! What fools we are listening to this.

Companies that change hands always add or change employees. It happened to me when companies were taken over by others or merged. They don't want to keep old employees who may have allegiance to their former company so they replace them.

Screw those censoring fascist employees.

Odd. I think of growing a company as in growing its value and profit versus hiring more people than needed.

He went on a bit of an ether binge 😔

We don’t see Biden (aka democrats) apologizing

We want Brazilian institutions to respect the constitution, we want the end of juristocracy in Brazil, we Brazilians want our freedom of expression back and an end to prior censorship! I say no to communism! I say no to the return of corruption to Brazil!

aliasvaughn Still rolled over his shares though to invest in Elons company.

Isn’t he pals with Musk?

All bout the 💴

Him & them should been let go freedom of speech is a constitutional right if the media only spill out lies they do not deserve a job💯

Well the guy left with many millions...

Elon doing all the right thing here. He’s not gonna waste his 44 billions. He needs to sue Dorsey and all ex Twitter management for false info for every penny they got.

'Jeez, I hired too many people, hur hur,' isn't an apology.

“Multimillionaire wants to have a clean conscious” There, fixed the headline for you.

He didnt apologize for the things he should have...

I don't really care...these employees are okay with child porn and threats against women but God forbid, you declare biological fact😡

Very kind for Jack to take time off from destroying Square to apologize for destroying Twitter

You Democrats celebrated when the pipeline and coal industry men and women were fired.

Who says he is apologizing to the Twitter employees? Maybe he's apologizing to Elon and to all of us for having to be subjected to this stupid story? He's sorry he grew the company too fast because it meant there were thousands of corrupt employees selling blue checks on the sly.

lip service to the people who thought were changing people when the fact is it is about as many ads in our face as possible, and that a universally agreeable platform for that takes 7000 censors. If a corporation can enslave you they will, but their ads need us to be nice.

Dorsey is not apologizing he is running a cover up for Elon Musk. Nobody believe firing about 50% of your staff shortly after taking over a company is rational

I ❤️jack

If jack didn’t turn Twitter into a woke p.o.s. none of this needed to happen.

Had to happen.

the company was bleeding money

Maybe the U.S Govt will hire them. They were shadow employees under the Twitter umbrella, taking orders from the DNC. Watch a new liberal social media app will develop soon.

He should, it’s his fault that Twitter evolved into such an unfair political pack of lies that has been so instrumental in division, hate, crazy wokeness & biased censorship of this country. Hate to hear that anybody loses their job, but maybe it will truly shake & wake them up!

Why did they take his offer? JP Morgan and many great companies simply said 'no dice'. Why did they sell out?

Hahaha

Elon bought it he could close it if he wants

How good was their package

I don’t even know what his comment meant.

🤣

They don’t blame him.

Jack, you have to blame previous ceo who sued Elon

They'll be fine. They can just learn to mine.

DBChirpy His apology is not going to get their jobs back, not going to pay their rent, feed their families, infuse local economies, and it is not going to stop the violence of Musk’s Twitter. abc cbs nbc CNN FoxNews twitter

Buhahahahaha shallow

The Twitter board forced Musk to buy Twitter when he wanted to back out… think about that when you are complaining about nothing

Aka he agrees with the firings

Fascism always loses

No. He sold out to a twit.

Many Twitter employees probably feel this way. (;~O~) Amen

Is anyone with blue check marks paying 8 dollars a month yet

He apologized for being too smart and good looking or something like that. Big of him🤣

Start a new platform with those that were laid off. You can call it Refuge and compete for who the biggest victim of life is

jack, get that new (rumored) app up and running and hire them back!

With a lot BS positions more than likely.
