With all the fired experts, they'll be able to launch a Twitter competitor soon, free of the legacy code. I do wonder if Jack Dorsey is considering it.

The biggest issue and my biggest regret is that it became a company,” Dorsey tweeted.
If you’ve not heard Dorsey on one before, the idea that Twitter should never have been a company might sound strange. But he doesn’t really mean that the project should have never existed, more that if he could rewrite history he would have (supposedly) steered Twitter toward being a protocol, not a company. “[I] don’t believe any individual or institutions should own social media, or more generally media companies,” Dorsey tweeted back in April. “It should be an open and verifiable protocol. Everything is a step toward that.”

Great chance for a do-over. But then I just found this, which he might be regretting soon. Should have taken Musk's money!

Dorsey rolled over his more than 18 million shares in Twitter (a roughly 2.4% stake) into the new Musk-owned company as an equity investor, rather than receiving a cash payout, according to a Thursday securities filing.
