Why would X be broken up? When I think of Big Tech I certainly don’t think of companies like Twitter or Snapchat.

The defining feature of the privilege is that it's arbitrary. If it was governed by a set of consistent rules, then it would be less effective at making him feel like he had power - the system, rather, would have power instead.

Twitter is very small compared to the likes of Google though, so not very big. It doesn't make sense to break up such a small company that basically just does one thing.

The point is that even if X was a dominating monopoly, it would be fine because Elon is on Trumps nice list.

Trump is a typical power whore who praises and protects those that kiss his feet, and admonishes and punishes those who don't.

This is the same game that all these self-interested power hungry people play.
