> The SEC also today charged Tesla with failing to have required disclosure controls and procedures relating to Musk’s tweets
It’s almost like the current administration should also have these!

B. Obvious joke about “but it’s for sale like it is” :)
C. Anyone still arguing about Trump Tweets is being obtuse the bias in media. He found a loophole to get his message out, I don’t agree with the content usually but can’t fault him for the workaround.
Yes. But it is enormously more important than a simple publicly traded company. If a company fails to follow rules, it might bankrupt itself / cheat shareholders / cause minor economic harm. Maybe the shareholders lose all their money.
If the president fails to follow the rule of law, whole countries will perish.
In a way, the presidency should be held accountable at a far more higher level of compliance than a publicly traded company.

He can get his message out anyway he wants. Tweets, facebook posts, sms, heck even an RFC document. Nobody cares. What everyone cares about is the timing, the potential for vast damage that a single tweet at the wrong time can do, the inherent limited text of tweets having the potential to be misinterpreted.
It's not what he can do, but whether he should do it. A person running a whole country ought to be more responsible and should be held responsible for his actions. And for such a person with enormous power, every small act, counts.
Imagine the president wearing the Hindu swastika (a deeply religious symbol to Hindus) for Diwali celebrations at a state event,but the clip holding the swastika symbol slips, and the swastika turns a bit. There would be seismic changes in people and societies around the world instantaneously. Now, is the president responsible for the loose clip, perhaps not. Is the president responsible for making sure such things dont happen, absolutely.
The idiots that don’t understand the swastica symbol is in Asia can rightfully be ignored.
And to Trump he’s looking at the overwhelmingly negative media putting their intentional spin - he’s claiming they are the ones to say it’s a white power symbol... and looking at the joke of the media making the OK to be the same - he’s not entirely wrong here.
Just admit, you had no problem with Obama tweets and right or wrong or unintended consequences aside - Trump figured out a way to get his message out without the media and that pisses them off.
Twitter, for better or worse, gives you direct access to normal people. I'm no fan of Musk, but I'm inclined to believe that if our financial (and in the example, political) system is so fragile that tweets can blow it all to hell, we have a serious problem and system collapse is inevitable.
I am not a fan of Trump but I think it's cool (terrifying?) that we can get his stream of consciousness through Twitter.
