Jack Dorsey went from being 'really happy' about Elon Musk joining Twitter's board to saying he shouldn't have bought it. Here's how their bromance has evolved.

One of Dorsey's first public bouts of praise for Musk was in 2016"He's constantly on Twitter, constantly talking about what [Tesla is] doing — and how he's feeling about it as well," Dorsey said at a trade show in 2016."He's very open and using it to correct press and if people aren't focused on the right things. I think he's a really good model of how to use it well.

"Is this a real person, or is this a bot net, or a sort of troll army, or something like that?" Musk said.An activist hedge fund that had amassed about a 5% stake in Twitter pushed an initiative to drive Dorsey out of his role as CEO. The hedge fund, Elliot Management, reasoned that since Dorsey led two companies, Twitter and Square, he wasn't focused enough on the former.

Musk — who also helms two companies — tweeted,"Just want say that I support @Jack as Twitter CEO. He has a good" heart, using the heart emoji.Musk said he called Dorsey right after his account was compromised in the great Twitter hack of July 2020
