Elon is showing exactly why we moved from absolute monarchs to constitutional systems with rule of law. He's running twitter as an absolute monarch, making up new rules to suit his whims, while he is above those rules.

And I think this also shows why corporate capitalism is inherently at odds with democracy: every corporation is effectively a dictatorship, their internal economy a plan economy, its rules at the whim of the CEO. And Elon is more eager than many CEOs to abuse this power. I wonder if it's going to lead to a revolution against corporations similar to the revolutions we got against monarchs.
