It's a very long post, but a lot of it is a detailed discussion of terminology in the appendix -- no need to read that unless you're into definitional struggles.

No. It's already owned by multibillionaire Jack Dorsey.

This is straight up misinformation, Dorsey was on the Bluesky's board, but left in May. As far as I'm aware, he's never even invested in the company (but he has given money to the nostr devs).

It did originate from Twitter. Somehow Twitter at the time considered it wise to split it into a separate entity, and Dorsey was fine with not controlling it. And then Twitter was sold, and Dorsey and Bluesky grew apart from each other.

Correct. Dorsey's early involvement is certainly grounds for concern -- the way I think of it, he's gone now but his stench lingers on -- but he's not influential there going forward.
