Such a facepalm concept

Capitalists. We can't regulate businesses, if a corporation is opperating unsafe, harming the environment, spreading hateful messages etc.... the only check and balance we need is the free market, and the consumers voting with their wallets.

Consumers vote with their wallets, This is unspeakable... we need the government to regulate to make sure the consumers don't organize and vote with their wallets.

The thing is Twitter costs, even at its height, under a billion a year to run.

He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.

But he can't have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.
