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.

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

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

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.
