Yes , a new platform is needed . It can't be a company . This is why I left .

Ok

What should it look like ?

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 . This isn't complicated work , it just has to be done right so it's resilient to what has happened to twitter .

Super interesting idea

I'm off the twitter board mid May and then completely out of company . I intend to do this work and fix our mistakes . Twitter started as a protocol . It should have never been a company . That was the original sin .

I'd like to help if I am able to

I wanted to talk with you about it after I was all clear , because you care so much , get it's importance , and could def help in immeasurable ways . Back when we had the activist come in , I tried my hardest to get you on our board , and our board said no . That's about the time I decided I needed to work to leave , as hard as it was for me .

Do you have a moment to talk ?

Bout to head out to dinner but can for a minute

I think the main reason is the board is just super risk averse and saw adding you as more risk , which I thought was completely stupid and backwards , but I only had one vote , and 3 % of company , and no dual class shares . Hard set up . We can discuss more .

Let's definitely discuss more

I think it's worth both trying to move Twitter in a better direction and doing something new that's decentralized

It's likely the best option . I just have doubts . But open

When is a good time to talk confidentially ?

Thanks , great conversation !

Always ! I couldn't be happier you're doing this . I've wanted it for a long time . Got very emotional when I learned it was finally possible .

Looks like there's a " verified " account in the swamp of despair over there . https://m.facebook.com/Elonmuskoff?fref=nf&pn_ref=story&rc-p ( promoting crypto too ! )

Haha

Thank you

I basically following your advice !

I want to make sure Parag is doing everything possible to build towards your goals until close . He is really great at getting things done when tasked with specific direction . Would it make sense for me you and him to get on a call to discuss next steps and get really clear on what's needed ? He'd be able to move fast and clear then . Everyone is aligned and this will help even more .

Sure

great when is best for you ? And please let me know where / if you want my help . I just want to make this amazing and feel bound to it

How about 7pm Central ?

Your help would be much appreciated

I agreed with everything you said to me

Great ! Will set up . I won't let this fail and will do whatever it takes . It's too critical to humanity .

Absolutely

I put together a draft list to make the discussion efficient . Goal is to align around 1 ) problems we're trying to solve , 2 ) long term priorities , 3 ) short - term actions , all using a higher level guide you spoke about . Think about what you'd add / remove . Getting this nailed will increase velocity ,

Here's meeting link for 7pm your time

Great list of actions

We're on hangout whenever you're ready . No rush . Just working on refining doc .

You and I are in complete agreement . Parag is just moving far too slowly and trying to please people who will not be happy no matter what he does .

At least it became clear that you can't work together . That was clarifying .

Yeah
