Well, if you own the rights to something, you can control the commercial use of it (assuming non-commercial use is not worth the effort to restrict). I leave the commercial utility of Jack's first tweet as an exercise for others (because I have no clue).

Sure, but that's a legal right that lives in law, not on the blockchain.

And I'd be shocked if this NFT actually included that sort of ownership as part of the deal.

I don't think NFTs almost ever attach any intellectual property or copyright ownership to possession of the NFT.

It's more like a collectors card of some thing. Purely abstract.
