There was news today on how originally the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, was on the board for an up-and-coming social media platform called BlueSky which was supposed to takedown Twitter after its purchase by Elon Musk. However, today it was announced that he was no longer on the board and was urging people to stay on Elon Musk’s platform instead.
Funny enough, this generated criticism from people on how they think Jack Dorsey is only saying that because BlueSky doesn’t seem to be doing very well and this was he can potentially still be involved with his old company this way as it at least seems to have some momentum. That’s actually very common for people to play all sides of the coin in order to maximize their profits and opportunities.
In many ways, it’s probably harder to not just cater to specific groups of people that one identifies with the most. Because doing so as well could easily drop your opportunities in half. There is the saying on how you have to stand for something or you will fall for everything. But for this you often have to do what’s best for business too.
