I think anyone pitching the “paradox of tolerance” needs to understand recursion a little better, or perhaps try to understand how their argument looks in a mirror to someone who disagrees with their stated position.

They can it's just typically called hypocrisy.
Changing your mind is not hypocrisy. Look it up.
in this case there's no reason to believe he changed his mind
it's much more likely that one of the two views was simply him expressing what he thought was the most politically opportunistic opinion to express at the time
perhaps both

Innocent until proven guilty. AFAIK Trump has not been convicted of any "illegal activity" in that regard.
He's been proven guilty. He did it on live tv. The fact that he still has enough political power to avoid execution for sedition, or any responsibility whatsoever for this crime, does not have any effect on the truth value of my statement.
proven guilty of what ? Any evidence ?

If someone makes you rich and successful with their business advice and you work with them for multiple years, would you ignore their phone call in the future and ignore their other suggestions? It’s not about being a master mind, there is soft power in play, humans are social animals.
Thiel (+ the rest of the board) fired Musk from his CEO position at PayPal. I'm pretty sure Musk would ignore any phone calls from Thiel. Furthermore, Thiel didn't make Musk rich. When PayPal was sold to eBay Musk was the single largest shareholder of PayPal, which should tell you who was the most responsible for PayPal's success.
That decision to oust him made Musk (one of the largest shareholders as you mention) rich when ebay purchased paypal under the new CEO… Peter Thiel. He effectively secured an exit for the company.

Mayor of chicago said yesterday overturning roe vs wade is a call to arms. Still on twitter.
Everyone in American politics uses fight metaphors. Not every political movement erects a gallows outside the Capitol and then breaks and enters to look for legislators and the Vice President to hang.

#80It 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. WSJ reported Thiel being involved with Musk on this t…

What does his presidential status of a nation or his support in an election unrelated to Twitter have to do with him breaching their terms of service?
I find it interesting, because it kind of implies that you would want him to get special treatment because of his status/position in this manner. But on Twitter he is nothing more than an account like everyone else. They control the platform that they created and own. Which they were able to do due to the free market policies established in the US.
The real problem in my opinion is using Twitter as a source of information. There is an arbitrary character limit, threads which allow Tweets to be taken out of context and the ability to ban anyone from reading ones Tweets. Any sane person would realize that such a platform is perfect for propaganda and that it should not be used as a communication channel (by a government official).
