I wonder if Trump deleted Obama's tweets from the @POTUS account

2018-05-24 05:49:08 UTC  

and unfollowed HIllary Clinton

2018-05-24 05:49:11 UTC  

😄

2018-05-24 05:49:33 UTC  

I think Twitter actually designated @POTUS as a special account

2018-05-24 05:49:35 UTC  

There's convoluted work related hypotheticals, but, in general, it's the right of being a property holder

2018-05-24 05:49:38 UTC  

the main reason Trump does not use it.

2018-05-24 05:49:40 UTC  

not exactly the prefect example. his house would also need to be spacex property

2018-05-24 05:49:59 UTC  

Why would it also need to be spacex property?

2018-05-24 05:50:09 UTC  

It's his own living room.

2018-05-24 05:50:20 UTC  

He's had the living room before he was CEO of spaceX

2018-05-24 05:50:30 UTC  

Think of university presidents living in a house provided by the university

2018-05-24 05:50:53 UTC  

Think of Trump Tower.

2018-05-24 05:50:56 UTC  

Rule #1 dont live in a place that u dont own

2018-05-24 05:51:23 UTC  

Not everything that The President of the United States owns is government property

2018-05-24 05:51:24 UTC  

@Ivanfr if you have to pay taxes on it constantly, you don't own it

2018-05-24 05:51:37 UTC  

well u own it as much as u can

2018-05-24 05:51:52 UTC  

Not everything that Elon Musk owns is SpaceX property.

2018-05-24 05:52:06 UTC  

The metaphor translates quite effectively.

2018-05-24 05:52:09 UTC  

i mean, you statement is wrong. it certainly would be better to live in land that the government has no right to and therefore can't tax you

2018-05-24 05:53:16 UTC  

I havent seen such land

2018-05-24 05:53:34 UTC  

I mean u can go to the jungle with a gun and claim land

2018-05-24 05:53:35 UTC  

I mean, I own a company, myself. My car is not company property.

2018-05-24 05:53:37 UTC  

well given that i previously said i treat CEOs as representatives of the company at all times so that anything they say or do related to the company, even if its while they are "off duty", is as good as an official statement for the company, this is not exactly perfect.

2018-05-24 05:53:38 UTC  

Or at least such land with postal service

2018-05-24 05:54:02 UTC  

That doesn't answer the question.

2018-05-24 05:54:32 UTC  

technically no

2018-05-24 05:54:38 UTC  

the best kind of no.

2018-05-24 05:54:41 UTC  

but this is not the same as trump banning people

2018-05-24 05:54:47 UTC  

How so?

2018-05-24 05:54:57 UTC  

He's not banning people, by the way.

2018-05-24 05:55:25 UTC  

Not like Twitter is.

2018-05-24 05:55:26 UTC  

because that would be like kicking out a space-x employee out of his house, then hold a space x meeting there talking about his job.

2018-05-24 05:55:41 UTC  

his being the person kicked out

2018-05-24 05:55:56 UTC  

You're reframing the question.

2018-05-24 05:56:08 UTC  

Just because a President uses a service, that doesnt make the service propierty of the govt

2018-05-24 05:56:17 UTC  

ur taxes didnt fund twitter

2018-05-24 05:56:19 UTC  

Part of my point.

2018-05-24 05:56:42 UTC  

and yes the president has the right to use private services

2018-05-24 05:57:11 UTC  

Which leads to #2 and #3

2018-05-24 05:57:20 UTC  

It's annoying anyway since blocking doesn't hinder public discussion, just easy the reference

2018-05-24 05:57:40 UTC  

How can Twitter be a private service, with a constitutionally protected public service within it?
