'I don’t know that Twitter as a company is going to succeed forever, but the idea of Twitter I think will be around,' cofounder Biz Stone added in an interview

New Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk “doesn’t seem like” the right person to own the company, Twitter’s co-founder Biz Stone told The Guardian in an interview published Friday.

Stone was one of four men who founded Twitter in 2006 alongside Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Noah Glass. Stone left Twitter in 2011, returned in 2017, and then ultimately left the company for good in 2021. And when pressed by the Guardian on whether Musk was the right owner for Twitter, Stone said, “It doesn’t seem like it right now, but I could be wrong.”

“You have to be OK with stuff that you just don’t like or don’t agree with being on there,” said Stone. “Otherwise, you should just go buy a magazine or a newspaper or something where it’s OK to have a specific leaning.”But while noting Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla TSLA and SpaceX, is in a tough spot, Stone still had some criticism for the self-described “Chief Twit’s” first few months on the job after purchasing Twitter for $44 billion last year.

“I don’t know the future. I don’t know what’s gonna happen and maybe things will be great in a year and [it] had to go through this trial by fire,” Stone said. “But, right now it does not look good, I would say.”
