Twitter co-founder Biz Stone says there were “world events” that the company “didn’t make public”

While discussing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter:

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone tweet thread:

Biz Stone tweeted: He’s not a serious person. He does things for sport that have serious consequences for real people. This is an open, global service. US politics is not much of Twitter. (K-pop might be bigger.) Also, in other places lives are at stake.

Jason Goldman replies: This is the most painful part and where I get worked up. Honestly if the thing just died in a fire so be it. Sites die. But he’s acting with such a reckless and incurious disregard to the consequences of his actions. Because he’s never had to deal with any.

Biz Stone replies to Goldman: It’s heartbreaking. All the world events we didn’t make public to protect brave people. Also, on the Trump poll, “The people have spoken!” How many Russians voted? It’s global. That’s not what we made it for…Chief. Oy.

Stone worked at Twitter from its founding in 2006 until 2012, and he re-joined the company in 2017.

Many people have asked Stone what world events they buried, but he has ignored all questions.

What have they been hiding? It sure sounds like a CIA thing.
