$2.9 million for Jack Dorsey’s first tweet
On March 21st, 2006, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey set up his Twitter page, and LO:
“just setting up my twttr”
A lot of stuff happened; a tyrant nearly blew up America; Jack became a billionaire; Roseanne was canceled; non sequitur humor had a good run; etc.
Blah blah blah on March 21st, 2021, Jack Dorsey sold the tweet for $2.9 million.
Buyer Sina Estavi, CEO of a blockchain tech company Bridge Oracle, had tweeted that he would have gone as high as $10 million but got a bargain. Dorsey saved this narrative from becoming another public display of wealth hoarding by donating the proceeds to Give Directly, a charity that sends funds directly to people living in poverty.
And that’s it. That’s the tweet. Or is it. I don’t know, it sounds like something someone on Twitter would say about this.
