Just read up on Bluesky, and it turns out most of the article is misleading or incorrect.
Bluesky was an initiative launched by Jack Dorsey while he was CEO of Twitter, and it was intended to develop a set of federated social media protocols and eventually move Twitter to those protocols. (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/11/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-anno...)
He hired a development team for it (led by Jay Graber) who still work on the project today, probably as employees of Twitter? Jack's role in the project is unclear, apart from being a board member of the organization.
I have no idea what the relations between all the parties are at the moment, considering Dorsey x Twitter x Musk x everything else that has happened since December 2019, but as far as I can tell Bluesky – while working independently – is still fully funded by Twitter. It is not Dorsey's company as everyone seems to believe.
