Twitter Co-Founder Evan Williams Apologizes for Helping Trump Win White House

[the_ad id=”90513″]

Evan Williams, the co-founder of Twitter, went on a snark attack against President Donald Trump — a prolific tweeter, if there ever was one — and outright apologized for helping the former businessman reach the pinnacle of power, the White House.

President Donald Trump has used Twitter as a means of bypassing the leftist, mainstream media and taking his messages directly to the American people — something that served him well on the campaign trail, and now, in the White House.

His apology is a bit like white people, circa 2017, issuing heartfelt mea culpas for slavery.

Williams, it should be noted, is still a board of director for Twitter.

In an interview with the New York Times, he said his organization was intended to give everyone a chance to engage in the free exchange of thoughts and ideas. But apparently, he now feels he created a monster — that the free exchange offered Trump, and by logical extension, Trump supporters, has just gone too far. Dammit.

And he’s not gonna take it any more.,

As Indian Express wrote:

“Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, in an interview, apologised for making Trump’s presidency possible. Williams, who still is a member of Twitter’s board of directors, in an interview to New York Times, he said the purpose of his organisation was to give everyone a chance to have free exchange of information and ideas. ‘I thought once everybody could speak freely and exchange information and ideas, the world is automatically going to be a better place. I was wrong about that,’ Williams was quoted by the newspaper.

“He further went on to apologise in case the microblogging website played a role in getting Trump elected as the 45th President of the United States. ‘It’s a very bad thing, Twitter’s role in that. If it’s true that he wouldn’t be president if it weren’t for Twitter, then yeah, I’m sorry,’ he said. Williams also described the internet as “broken”. He further added that he wishes to repair the damage done by internet in the form of online trolls, fake news, cyber-bullying and live-streamed violence.

“Trump, in an interview to Financial Times in April, credited his success to Twitter. ‘Without the tweets, I wouldn’t be here . . . I have over 100m followers between Facebook, Twitter [and] Instagram. Over 100 million. I don’t have to go to the fake media,’ he said.”

What an idiot–typical leftist dunce–he doesn’t like Trump so Trump should have been censored and not allowed to to tweet like Clinton and her supporters were also allowed to tweet–is he going to apologize for also being responsible for Clinton’s loss? Liberals are idiots–no wonder Twitter can’t make a profit–look at the numbskull who started it!

Perhaps he should apologize for letting Linda “I’m gaga for terrorists” Sarsour reach the heights of power in the Feminist community. When she’s really a fake feminist.

What a bigoted, stunned, arrogant twit, perhaps Evan Williams should pull his head out of his ass and take note that he and his half twit are not the guardians of individual thought. It is better to not twitter and be thought a fool than twitter and remove all doubt. People can make their own minds up, a legend in his feeble socialist mind, an unhung zero of an “entrepreneur” is not required to pimp thought.

I’d think way more of him if he apologized for living and wasting oxygen, others could put to much better use. No different than Brin, Zuckerberg and Bezos.

No worries, Evan. We appreciate you letting us use you to get what we wanted, a Trump presidency.

Evan Williams is like Thomas Edison. They both used their money and deviousness to rip off the better talents and investors. Evan ripped off Noah Glass and the start-up investors of Odeo just like Edison ripped off Tesla.
Evan Williams is the Twitter stealer, not founder. He did not even think Twttr would sell until the true founder, Noah Glass and others used their passion to make it work. Now, Evan is crying in his expensive wine. Boo Hoo.
