That's true regardless of whether or not Twitter exists.
It's still a false equivalence inasmuch as a rich American is spending money in a way to maintain the status quo; rich Americans like the Koch Brothers benefit from American hegemony. They spend their money to enrich themselves, but they still want the US to remain in power.
A rival government, however, does not want the US to remain in power. As an American company, Twitter benefits from American hegemony, and will act to protect it.
