Elon Musk's conversation revealed before Twitter trial

In April, before the relationship between Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal soured, Musk admitted he didn't like being the leader.

While Agarwal said, “Treat me like an engineer instead of a CEO.”

[{"selector":"#anim-218122f4-a12f-49f5-827a-c2ecdf5da830","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-99.11111%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6fa96ee9-12b5-46db-b64a-39ae12732c2b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7a7bd4b-d926-4e15-9a25-19f2eafbe54e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Interestingly, Elon Musk had some controversial ideas for Twitter, such as validating all human users and exposing algorithms to open source.

Back in March, Jack Dorsey and Musk talked about the future of Twitter.

Do you know when Musk asked what Twitter should look like, to Jack Dorsey.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a8e0456-a455-45f3-a3be-2ddf9289e263","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-99.11111%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6f5613b-f4cf-49d5-92d6-449abc0f38f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8cec17dd-962d-4b35-b17e-06af69842fcd","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Dorsey replied, “I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn’t own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like what Signal has done. It can’t have an advertising model.”

And in April, Dorsey said in a public comment, “Elon is the singular solution” he trusts.
