The official Twitter account of Jack Dorsey, the CEO of the social media platform, was hacked on Friday. Dorsey's @jack tweeted a link to a Discord Chat and RT'd a series of tweets, including one that read, "follow me i am jacks daddy." The account also tweeted #NIGGER, antisemitic remarks, and other racial slurs, along with a bomb threat.
AT Twitter spokesperson said the company is investigating the issue.
