A new app created by Twitter’s co-founder and ex-CEO as an alternative to the Elon Musk-owned platform has just launched a version for Android users.

Jack Dorsey, The founder of Twitter has launched the new social media application he called Blue Sky.

The app will have built-in features that will prevent it from being taken over or controlled by one person and Blue Sky is a decentralized social networking app that will compete with Twitter.

So Twitter now has a new competing App built by the same man who built Twitter which is obviously a serious competition.

Twitter’s ex-CEO and Co-founder Jack Dorsey’s move is ready to challenge Elon Musk.

Elon Musk paid over $44 billion to take over the social media platform and has been making changes.

Musk’s latest move was removing the blue verification badge and introducing an $8 fee, which impacted Dorsey, Prompting him to launch a new app on Android just hours later.

Do you think Elon Musk is regretting his hostile takeover of twitter?
