Twitter Inc (NASDAQ:TWTR) CEO Jack Dorsey has a lot to say about the social media platform’s board of directors but “nothing that can be said.” This is perhaps why he reported to a meme featuring Don Corleone to express his emotions.
What Happened: Dorsey made the comments in response to CNBC journalist Scott Wapner on Twitter.
Wapner asked him if he thought Twitter board was so dysfunctional and kept the company from being great why didn’t he do “anything about it when you ran the company for several years?”

Dorsey said, “So much to say…but nothing that can be said.” Wapner persisted and said if Dorsey was willing to actually say it, “plenty can be said.”
Plenty can be said if you’re willing to actually say it. I think it’s a very fair question. You were CEO, a founder and a large shareholder. Surely if you thought the Board was dysfunctional - or certain members led to its dysfunction - you could have made changes.

Dorsey posted a meme from “The Godfather’s” Don Corleone in response to another user who had commented that the public markets were grinding Twitter to shit. The same user noted that Dorsey was building a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) future.
