Dorsey said he didn’t think Musk “acted right” after pursuing the social media company and realizing his potential mistake.

Dorsey said Elon Musk should have paid $1 billion to back out of the deal to acquire the social media platform.

Dorsey said that the alternative to Elon owning Twitter was that it would be owned by Hedge Funds and Wall Street activists.
