- He was one of several co-founders of Twitter, so you can't credit him with much of that idea.

- He successfully raised money, but he was then fired because he was doing yoga and fashion stuff all the time instead of working.

- He returned to be CEO of Twitter and wasn't successful at it. Accounts from people working for him at the time described him as infuriatingly indecisive, naive, and easy to influence. He held tons of meetings about decisions instead of actually making them[1]. This was especially bad when Twitter was supposed to be deciding its stance on free speech during the 2020 election. He was eventually ousted after pressure by activist investors.

- He thought Elon Musk was the right person to run Twitter, which was obviously idiotic at the time[2] and has become (in hindsight) even more laughable. No "intelligent" businessperson has an excuse to be tricked into thinking Musk is smart, ethical, or good at running businesses.

- He falls for a lot of New Age, pseudo-science bullshit. Case in point: he endorsed RFK, Jr., a conspiracy nut, for president of the United States. That might be one of the dumbest thing he's publicly done. Tulsi Gabbard was another of his favorite candidates.

- He's a blockchain/Bitcoin enthusiast.

- His Twitter/X feed reads like a hippie stoner, not like a sharp observer of the world. I suspect he and Musk bonded over enjoying being high most of the time.

Look, I have used Twitter once - I made an account for fun in 2009, and then proceeded to be extremely bored by it. I don't really keep up with The Twitter/X Files either, which internet people seem obsessed with these days.

Honestly, every one of your points either sounds like gossip, or just a weak reason to consider someone "stupid".

- I wasn't aware that support of RFK and/or Tulsi Gabbard automatically made someone stupid.

- I wasn't aware that selecting the most successful businessman of all time as a CEO was an obviously terrible idea.

- There are a lot of dumb people in the whole crypto industry, but there are also a lot of not-dumb people.

- I haven't had Twitter since the decade before last, so I have no clue what Jack Dorsey says in 140 characters or less.

None of this was apparent to me, so I don't really know what to think. I just wasn't convinced by anything in your comment, unfortunately.

The "gossip" is all sourced in high quality journals. You don't seem like you're interested in actually answering this question. There are many articles and first-hand accounts of Dorsey's behavior at Twitter. It was something of a source of fascination for most of the business world, and many profiles (including ones that Dorsey participated in himself) have said the same thing.

> I wasn't aware that support of RFK and/or Tulsi Gabbard automatically made someone stupid.

You don't think believing easily-disproven conspiracy theories makes someone stupid?

> There are a lot of dumb people in the whole crypto industry, but there are also a lot of not-dumb people.

The not-dumb people aren't true believers. They're taking advantage of the people who are dumb. Dorsey is a true believer.

> I just wasn't convinced by anything in your comment, unfortunately.

Like I said, it doesn't seem like you're interested in actually finding an answer here, and I wish I hadn't wasted my time answering what seemed like a sincere question.
