The co-founder and former Twitter, Jack Dorsey has been locked out of his X account.
The news broke on Wednesday night, when Dorsey via Primal, an alternative social media network, stated that his X account had been restricted with an 11-hour lockout period remaining as of that date.
“We have determined that you have violated the X rules, so you’ll need to wait some time before using X again.
“You’ll be able to unlock your account in: 11 hours and 3 minutes,” Jack shared on Primal.
TheNewsGuru gathered that Dorsey’s lockout has sparked reactions among X users, though the platform has provided no official explanation.
Reacting X user Patriot Lady @angelwoman501 tweeted, “Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, has been locked out of his X.
“How does it feel, Jack? We will never forget how you were taking millions from Joe Biden to cancel conservatives. Were you on the USAID payroll as well? Jack, you look terrible.”
Another user, Oli London @olilondontv, reacted, saying, “Under Dorsey’s Twitter leadership, thousands of conservatives had their accounts suspended.”
An X account Tiffany Fong @tiffanyfong_ took a lighter tack: “Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, has been thrown in 𝕏 jail .”
Western Decline @westerndecline_ replied to a tweet by Dogedesigner, “For all the accounts that were wrongfully suspended while he was the CEO of Twitter… I don’t feel an ounce of sympathy for the guy.”
As of now, X has not released a statement addressing the situation. Dorsey, who also co-founded Block Inc., has yet to provide further updates on the matter via Primal or other channels.
In 2021, Dorsey stepped down as Twitter’s CEO and has remained an influential figure in the tech world. His unexpected account restriction has raised eyebrows, particularly given his foundational role in building the platform that X evolved from.
