Like elon or not it makes absolutely no sense to compare social media with effectively newspapers, they're completely different things. The only comparison I guess you could realistically have is zuckerberg, but even then it wouldn't work very well.

It’s only a tangent that they are newspapers compared to twitter.

The real comparison is that the owners are billionaires and giants in their “industries” in some fashion.

Elon forgot capitalist step zero: Choose profit before ego.

That he is a bad capitalist will become apparent at a long enough temporal scale..
