Jack Dorsey Weighs In Twitter's Biggest Change Under New Boss Elon Musk

It seems Jack Dorsey isn't completely over his ex-company and is still keeping tabs on how Twitter is being run by his successor Elon Musk.

But in what may be a sign of maturity, or the ability to move on, Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey believes his former baby is in good hands with the new team at Twitter. 

DON'T MISS: Non-Verified Twitter Users Are About to Lose Access to a Very Popular Feature

"Running Twitter is hard. I don't wish that stress upon anyone. I trust that the team is doing their best under the constraints they have, which are immense," Dorsey tweeted following Twitter's decision to temporarily limit how many posts users can read based on whether they are subscribers or not. 

It's easy to critique the decisions from afar... which I'm guilty of... but I know the goal is to see Twitter thrive. It will.

Over the weekend, Musk's team decided to temporarily limit verified accounts to reading 6,000 posts per day, while unverified accounts were limited to 600 posts per day and new unverified accounts were limited to 300 per day.

After immense backlash on the social media platform, new Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino reposted a blog detailing that the reason for the new rules is to combat bad actors on the site. 

While Dorsey was one of the few to publicly back Twitter's new initiative, he did offer a pensive view of the possible future of Twitter and its role in shaping public debate.
