Ex-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey locked out of X account

Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, has reportedly been locked out of his account on X, the social media platform that succeeded Twitter under Elon Musk’s ownership.

The news broke on Wednesday night, when Dorsey posted about the issue on Primal, an alternative social media network, stating 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.

Dorsey’s lockout has caused numerous speculations among X users, though the platform has provided no official explanation.

Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter’s CEO in 2021, 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.

Posts on X reflect a mix of reactions, ranging from humorous takes suggesting karmic irony—given Dorsey’s tenure overseeing Twitter’s content moderation policies—to questions about whether the lockout stems from a technical glitch or a deliberate action under Musk’s leadership.

Dorsey’s most recent activity on X included retweeting links to external content, but none of those posts appear to clarify the reason behind the restriction.

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.
