Both NBC and CNBC have reported that Musk has floated the idea.

However, Musk had yet to confirm this news himself on his social media account.

Jack Dorsey seems to support the move, however.

Dorsey gave up his position as Twitter CEO late last year.

Parag Agrawal was named in his place and he is the current Twitter CEO.

Investment firm cofounder Ben Horowitz also threw his support behind Musk.

He called Musk the only person with the “courage, brilliance, and skills” to fix Twitter.

Dorsey responded to his comments saying, “This is true.”
