Jack Dorsey backed and funded Bluesky when he was Twitter’s CEO; now, he’s left the board of the social network, and it’s searching for a replacement.
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has left Bluesky’s board — the decentralized social media platform he conceived and funded in 2019 when he was Twitter’s CEO.
Bluesky confirmed Dorsey’s exit in a May 5 post on the platform, writing it was “searching for a new board member” and thanked Dorsey for his help in starting and funding the project.
Hours prior, Dorsey had responded with a curt “no” to someone on X asking if he was still on Bluesky’s board. Neither Bluesky nor Dorsey explained why he decided to leave. Bluesky did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
