Jack Dorsey Doubles Down: Thomas Massie Should Run for President

NEW YORK — Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has once again publicly endorsed the idea of a presidential run by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), praising the libertarian-leaning lawmaker’s consistent antiwar and anti-surveillance record .

Dorsey, who has a history of tangling with the political establishment, wrote in a post on the social media platform X that he had been touting Massie for “a long time” and that the current political moment demands a “different kind of candidate.”

“I’ve been saying this for a long time. @RepThomasMassie should run for President.”
— Jack Dorsey, via X (formerly Twitter)

Massie, 55, is not a widely known figure outside of libertarian and tech circles, but he has a track record that appeals to a certain corner of the electorate: He has voted against all foreign spending packages, opposed reauthorization of the Patriot Act, and was the only member of Congress to vote against the $2.2 trillion CARES Act (2020) .

📜 The Massie Record

While hardcore libertarians and Silicon Valley technologists have long admired his ideological purity, Massie has also faced criticism for what opponents call a refusal to compromise — including a lone vote against a resolution awarding a Congressional Gold Medal to police who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021 .

Massie’s record, as highlighted by supporters:

At a time when the Republican Party is fractured between Trump loyalists and several potential successors, Massie offers a small-government critique of both parties, but he lacks the name recognition or the fundraising network of a DeSantis, Haley, or Ramaswamy .

🐘 Dorsey’s Political Profile

Dorsey, who has become increasingly disenchanted with the political left, has not officially left the Democratic Party but has voiced strong support for politicians who criticize surveillance and foreign intervention, policies often associated with the civil liberties left . His support for Massie, a Republican, underscores that his political compass is more ideological (anti‑establishment) than partisan .

Dorsey has also faced criticism for his role in the early censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story by Twitter; Massie has been one of the most vocal critics of Big Tech censorship, making him a natural ally for Dorsey in an unexpected way .

❓ Will He Run?

Thomas Massie has not indicated that he intends to mount a presidential campaign. Asked about the speculation last month, he gave a characteristically brief response: “I’m focused on my race for re‑election to the House,” he told Fox News .

Given the crowded field that already includes Trump, DeSantis, Haley, and a host of other candidates, a Massie campaign would be a long shot. But as Dorsey knows well, the internet can turn a niche congressman into a phenomenon, however briefly. And in a race that may see both Trump and Biden as the nominees, a “none of the above” protest vote could be a powerful draw for alienated libertarians and anti‑war voters .
