A funny thing about this is there’s an obvious typo in the quote from Mark Zuckerberg. It says “Twitter is such as mess” rather than “a mess”. Searching for that quote finds a 2013 tweet from Benedict Evans containing the typo, quoting a review of the book “Hatching Twitter” which also has the typo.

That review describes a conflict between two of the founders which today I find baffling: “Dorsey saw Twitter as a way to update one’s “status,” the ability to say what you’re doing the moment you’re doing it. Williams saw Twitter as a way to describe what’s happening in the world around you.”
