How many times does this man have to tell you that he's building #Bluesky AT Protocol to help his bro Musk & their joint investment, #Twitter?

Where #Dorsey is one of the biggest stakeholders, at $1 billion.

Bluesky refuses to reveal who owns the company & its IT. But Bluesky the app is a complete clone of Twitter yet it's the only one Musk has never attacked.

@jack - Nov 6, 2022 Replying to @BestLiveAudio @BillyM2k and @bluesky Moving fast. Not competitive to Twitter. Supportive.
@jeffjarvis - Jun 11, 2022 .@jack: How does @bluesky related to Web5? @davewiner - Jun 11, 2022 heh yeah, you got him. i thought of that too, went to their website, it's exactly as it was in april. i bet it'll be exactly the same in 2029. @jack bluesky team is doing a lot of work. Have to go deeper into their discord though to see for now... 8:08 AM - Jun 11,2022
@jeffjarvis - Jun 11, 2022 .@jack: How does @bluesky related to Web5? @jack Bluesky could be built on top of web5, specifically helps solve the identity pieces. Twitter Inc could also use as foundation. And give people a whole lot more power. 8:02 AM - Jun 11,2022

@chargrille this is going to be NeXT 2.0, isn't it?

Dorsey is going to create the new "operating system for Twitter" and Musk is going to merge the two systems and fire everyone tied to the legacy stack.

Similar to #Meta having no incentive to upgrade #Threads to #ActivityPub, #Bluesky will have no incentive to eventually upgrade to #Web5.

If they don't do it initially, they won't do an entire rewrite of such systems later. So just assume #Web5 and Bluesky to be dead before they were even created.

If Bluesky had any chance of success, it would have received the same response as Threads in the first few days. Their first mistake was with the soft launch.

With Threads, you had influencers racing to become the largest accounts before others arrived. This made people rush to it, similar to #Tiktok. Bluesky ruined any chance of this happening by restricting the audience of such accounts.

@Stark9837 @chargrille wtf web5? atproto is designed to be fairly durable, i think you are kinda clueless here

#web5 will build on #bitcoin? Does it not?

All statements by Jack Dorsey about his #Bluesky project:

Jul 6, 2023 (a week ago):
"Bluesky [is a] protocol[] that Twitter can build upon...Not competitive."

Nov 6, 2022:
"Not competitive to Twitter."

June 11, 2022
"Twitter Inc could also use as a foundation."

@Mantia - Apr 5, 2022:
are you trying to tell me that elon musk can make twitter less-centralized somehow?

@jack:
Twitter has an effort for this, @bluesky. It's important to all around and will continue.

@chargrille you are a mood. thank you for posting all this. i am baffled by anybody who thinks this guy has been anything but a machiavellian PoS. keep speaking on it!

Baffling indeed. I've worked on a "litigation timeline" & it's pretty plain they started planning Musk's takeover by early 2021, when Jack knew the Twitter Board was going to push him out as CEO (for 2nd time). He tried to get Musk on the Board then. His #Bluesky project at Twitter stagnant for 2 years, then suddenly Jack hand-picked its CEO (Graber) in Aug, & created a murky PBLLC w/secret owners in Oct, right before he left as CEO in Nov 21. Musk started buying up TWTR in Jan 22.

@chargrille <sigh> It’s right there in plain sight

I know, it's insane. I was just talking about it with my husband and I was like, you can point out that the toaster is broken and the toast that comes out of it is always burnt & so maybe we should get a new one - but ultimately people just ignore you and decide they like to eat burnt toast now.

I am flummoxed.
