Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, lamented the company’s “extremely rapid growth” in a social media post on Saturday. New owner Elon Musk announced a mass layoff on Twitter on Friday and Dorsey says he is partially responsible.

“I take responsibility that everyone finds themselves in this situation: the company has developed very quickly. I apologize for that.”
As Dorsey says, “I realize that a lot of people are angry” with him. “People on Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way, no matter how hard it is now.”

Dorsey left Twitter last year, but expressed support for the acquisition in April, when it became known that Musk wanted to buy the company. “Elon is the only solution I can trust,” it seemed at the time.
Dorsey chose to hold a stake and transferred 18 million publicly traded shares, worth about $978 million, from Twitter to X Holdings. This is the company that gave Musk, who is also the president of Tesla and SpaceX, control of the social media company.
