He's made it clear that he values his phone more than he does national security, they don't have the ability to intercede.

I am not saying they would take his phone or remove his account, but that they would restrict Twitter from using/selling his data.

I doubt they'd single out his data, but twitter may restrict the sale of data for everyone with a lil check mark. (Just speculation).

The feds don't have that ability either... Twitter could out of courtesy, but that would create a bad precedent.
