Elon Musk Says Jack Dorsey Has A 'Pure Heart:' Former Twitter CEO Kept Unaware Of Systemic Bias As 'Inmates Were Running Asylum'

Twitter’s owner Elon Musk says “controversial decisions” were often made without former CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey’s approval at the social media platform.

What Happened: The entrepreneur who is the current CEO of Twitter said that Dorsey was “unaware of systemic bias” at the company.

Musk lauded Dorsey and said, “Jack has a pure heart.” He said, “The inmates were running the asylum.”

Notably, Musk made his comment in response to a post that Dorsey was part of a group that made decisions secretly and without an overview to moderate Twitter.

Why It Matters: Yet another tranche of “Twitter Files” was released on Thursday by Musk. Journalist Bari Weiss shared some excerpts which indicated that Dorsey and other top executives, and former CEO Parag Agrawal were part of a group that oversaw "visibility filtering."

This week, Musk said that the “most important data” was hidden from Dorsey after the latter asked for Twitter files to be released in bulk. Dorsey had demanded that Musk make “everything public now.”
