Twitter is “the global conscience”

Dorsey described the social network as “the closest thing we have to a global conscience” and said he trusted Musk’s “mission” to “expand the light of conscience” and his goal of creating a platform “of maximum trust and broadly inclusive.

In that sense, he added that these objectives are shared by his successor in the executive position of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, for which he thanked both of them in advance for “getting the company out of an impossible situation” and pointed out that he is now on the “road Right”.
