JAKARTA - Twitter founder and former chief executive Jack Dorsey tweeted on Thursday, August 25, that he regrets the social media platform is now a company.

"My biggest problem and biggest regret is that it became a company," Dorsey tweeted in response to a question about whether Twitter became what he envisioned it to be.

Dorsey himself will receive 978 million US dollars if the deal with billionaire Elon Musk to buy Twitter is completed.

When asked about what structure he wanted Twitter to operate in, Dorsey said that it should be a "protocol" and that Twitter should not be owned by another country or company.

If it were a protocol, Twitter would operate like email, not being controlled by a single centralized entity, and people using different email providers could communicate with each other. Twitter is involved in various struggles.

Twitter has sued Musk for trying to abandon a $44 billion acquisition bid to buy Twitter. A former executive turned whistleblower has now also accused Twitter of misleading federal regulators about its security measures to protect against hackers and spam accounts.
