Do people here not believe that it’s normal for powerful, connected people to have “red phone” access to people high-up in corporations, media, etc? There are entire industries that exist to get you that access (if you don’t have it).

e.g. I believe Tim Cook could probably contact someone at Twitter and get an answer. Do we really believe he would go in the same queue as a “regular” citizen?

To me this is a shocking revelation to anyone who doesn’t actually understand how the world works.
