Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted earlier this week that multiple federal intelligence agencies should be broken apart and scattered āinto the winds.ā
The peculiar post begs at least one question: Where was this sentiment when his former platform colluded with those same agencies in order to influence elections and censor American citizens?
In Dorseyās case, perhaps his awakening is better late than never.
On Tuesday of this week, he tweeted, āSplinter the CIA, NSA, and FBI into a thousand pieces and scatter them into the winds.ā
Peculiarly, Dorsey also shared a link to a portrait of former President John F. Kennedy.
It isnāt clear why Dorsey posted about corrupt American intel agencies or why he drew a correlation between them and a president whose 1963 assassination has been accompanied by six decades of theories of government involvement.
It has been alleged by the former presidentās own nephew that JFK was taken out by the CIA.
Robert Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as a Democrat in 2024, has been vocal about one such theory:
Dorsey has not endorsed Kennedyās bid to unseat President Joe Biden, but he has shared some of the candidateās thoughts on vaccines and the death of his uncle online.
Many who came across Dorseyās post about demolishing the intelligence agencies pointed out that he made Twitter an ally to some of these agencies:
Others appeared as if they were simply pleased to see DorseyĀ post something lucid:
Dorsey mentioned the Twitter Files last December in a thread in which he commented, āSocial media must be resilient to corporate and government control.ā
None of what heās said since he stepped down explains why the tech billionaire never bothered to use his power at Twitter to protect the speech and information of its users from agencies that worked to influence the last election.
Dorsey oversaw a Twitter that shut down users who shared opinions that challenged official lines on issues such as COVID.
During his leadership at the company, Twittersuppressed reporting from The New York Post ā a credible newspaper ā about files found on Hunter Bidenās laptop.
Former intel agents had conveniently and falsely labeled the laptop as Russian disinformation weeks before a presidential election.
Should govāt intel agencies be disbanded?

It isnāt clear what Dorseyās angle is at this point.
Perhaps heās seen firsthand how public and private sector relationships chill free speech, and heās offering a sort of mea culpa without admitting any guilt.
There is also the possibility the former Twitter CEO is trying to recover his image now that heās primed to launch a new social media network called Bluesky.
Freedom of expression never goes out of style, while tech executives who have worked to undermine it are a dime a dozen.
There is no denying the odd timing of Dorseyās sudden disdain for overreaching federal government agencies.
It comes as he prepares to try to compete with Elon Musk.
