Dorsey owned more than 18 million shares in Twitter, valued at about $1 billion. He could have cashed those shares out at $54.20 a piece when Musk took the company private, instead, he will end up saving Musk about $1 billion in his purchase price by rolling those shares over.
Musk, then Saudi holdings (16%) and then Dorsey is next in share ownership. Dorsey and the Saudis combined still cannot outvote Musk.
Dorsey was semi-red pilled towards the end of his time there. He openly criticized the BoD and the company's direction.
Was he criticizing the BoD for fraudulent data and statements about bots, possibly opening up legal prosecution? Or did he also begin understanding the hateful biased political direction the corporation?
Could be both or just the threat of legal ramifications jeopardizing his investment, I honestly don't know.
