“The idea and service is all that matters to me, and I will do whatever it takes to protect both. Twitter as a company has always been my sole issue and my biggest regret. It has been owned by Wall Street and the ad model. Taking it back from Wall Street is the correct first step,” Dorsey wrote in a series of tweets.

Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is “maximally trusted and broadly inclusive” is the right one. This is also @paraga’s goal, and why I chose him. Thank you both for getting the company out of an impossible situation. This is the right path...I believe it with all my heart.

“In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness,” he added.

He was set to address Twitter employees in a town hall on what this takeover means to them and allay their fears.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday said that he hopes that his worst critics should remain on Twitter. "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means," he tweeted. "And be my love in the rain," Musk added, posting from famous American poet Robert Frost's poem "A Line-storm Song".
