New Delhi: Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter Inc, said that the only solution he trusts for the platform is Elon Musk, a report by Bloomberg said on Tuesday.

World’s richest man, Tesla CEO Musk reached a deal with Twitter board to buy the social media firm for about $44 billion.

Dorsey said Twitter has been “owned” by Wall Street; and taking the company private was the “correct” first step, according to Bloomberg data.  

Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is “maximally trusted and broadly inclusive” is the right one. This is also @paraga’s goal, and why I chose him. Thank you both for getting the company out of an impossible situation. This is the right path...I believe it with all my heart.

Dorsey, who took the company public in 2013, holds a 2.36 per cent stake in the social media platform.

In a thread, Dorsey wrote, “Twitter as a company has always been my sole issue and my biggest regret,” while adding, he said, “Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust.”

On late Monday, billionaire Musk reaches an agreement with Twitter board for acquiring the company for $44 billion.

According to a report by Bloomberg, the deal, which was approved by the board, is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. In a statement, the company said that the investors will receive $54.20 each share they own.

Chairman of Twitter, Bret Taylor, in a statement said the board had “conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing. The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter’s stockholders.”
