CTOnews.com, Sept. 30 (Xinhua)-- Musk changed his mind about buying Twitter during a dramatic text message exchange with Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, according to information disclosed at a public hearing on Musk's Twitter acquisition this week.

CTOnews.com learned that Musk bought a stake in Twitter in the first half of this year, and Musk has been posting joking opinion polls and controversial defamation of Twitter before saying he would buy Twitter for $44 billion.

As a result, Parag Agrawal texted Max: "you are free to post anything about Twitter, but it is my responsibility to tell you that in the current environment, it does not help me to make Twitter better." Musk then replied: "I will not join the board. The proposal to privatize Twitter is a waste of time."

At this moment, Agrawal finally understood that Musk wanted to buy Twitter and privatize it, not to join the board.

A few minutes later, Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor talked to Musk for a while.

"it's useless to fix Twitter by talking to Palag," Musk told him. "drastic action is needed. It's hard to do this as a public company, because getting rid of zombie users / robots / fake users makes the results look bad, so it should be restructured as a private company. That's the view of Jack (former CEO, co-founder of Twitter)."

This information also gives us a glimpse into the relationship between Dorsey and Musk. Mr Dorsey has said publicly that "Elon is the only solution I trust", but has not commented publicly since Mr Musk sued for trying to violate the deal.

It is worth noting that the talks took place in late March when Musk acquired a multibillion-dollar stake in Twitter but went public before his shares were completed. He and Dorsey also discussed the belief of Twitter's co-founders that Twitter "cannot be a company."

At the end of April, Jack Dorsey made a last-ditch effort to get Musk to meet Agrawal. "you and I see eye to eye," Musk later told Dorsey. "Agrawal is just too slow. He's trying to please people who will find fault with you no matter what he does."

Jack Dorsey said: "at least it's clear that you can't work together. Twitter was originally an agreement, it shouldn't have become a company at all, and that's the original sin." A minute later, Musk replied: "if I can, I am willing to help."
