I think that mob incitement is an excuse used for selective enforcement of the rules. If you're on the left, you're clearly operating under different rules: https://twitter.com/LoriLightfoot/status/1523844510735908864

Jack is a just another super-rich guy protecting his interests. He sees the political climate shifting hard right and is acting accordingly. Should there be another mob, he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of it.

#14It is interesting how much influence Peter Thiel has on the main players of social media: via Facebook as an early investor and ex-board member and via Twitter with his ex-coworker from Paypal days Musk. He’s very explicit in his book about the power of monopolies and now you see this consolidation of social media companies under a specific group of closed people.

I doubt Thiel is some kind of central master mind behind all this. Musk seems quite independently driven and probably found this a necessary move with only minor chats with thiel (if any). I'm not sure Thiel has any more or less influence than Sam Altman or Paul Graham.

One rules for me, others for thee, no?

Opposite ideologies have value yes, I was emphasizing on consolidation of power in a select few and alluding to fake competition. Also, the fact that Dorsey is flip flopping on a decision you can ultimately pin on him can be attributed to financially driven. I’m not against or for the ban, they can do whatever they want with their property.

#19Trump said he wouldn't go ever go back to Twitter. So this is a moot point because Trump is always honest and true to his word. /s
Wonder if they're trying to bait him away from Truth Social (his failing competitor platform)
No bait is needed, Trump just needs the right excuse to backpedal and not lose face.
