Jack Dorsey is absolutely an enemy, but it's doubtful he actually had the power to stop Twitter from becoming what it is. If he had tried to allow correct pronouns for troons, he would have been canceled and forced to step down.
Twitter went public in 2013. There is no way he would have been allowed to remain as CEO if he pushed back on people such as Vijaya Gadde.
Spez: Some examples of canceling CEOs: John Gibson, CEO of Tripwire Interactive, removed for tweeting support of Texas abortion ban; John Schattner, founder of Papa Johns Pizza, removed for saying nigger on a conference call; Brendan Eich, CEO of Mozzila, removed for donating to a campaign against gay marriage.
This. I went to a tech conference where Alexis Ohanian and Brent Herd were headliners. The whole conference was about how to get different rounds of funding. Basically... how to sell your tech company. These "founders" don't really own their companies very long, and have to sway with the investors to keep their position. Yes, Jack is to blame, but it would have happened without him.
