@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?

2018-05-24 05:58:26 UTC  

so, the president can use his personal twitter to talk about his positions on things, which, since he is the president, is also the POTUS position, but depending on which one he uses, he can block people out of the conversation?

2018-05-24 05:58:41 UTC  

Absolutely!

2018-05-24 05:58:44 UTC  

he can block anyone in any account

2018-05-24 05:58:56 UTC  

unless there is now a law about @POTUS

2018-05-24 05:59:06 UTC  

He's not using @potus

2018-05-24 05:59:11 UTC  

He's using @realdonaldtrump

2018-05-24 05:59:18 UTC  

well but assume he was

2018-05-24 05:59:22 UTC  

oh, good. So lets block all political opposition, stop using @potus, and stop providing any other forms of press release

2018-05-24 05:59:25 UTC  

it wouldnt matter in my opinion

2018-05-24 05:59:38 UTC  

He hasn't done that.

2018-05-24 05:59:44 UTC  

but he can

2018-05-24 05:59:45 UTC  

@Grenade123 sure, what is the problem with that?

2018-05-24 05:59:47 UTC  

well, could

2018-05-24 05:59:52 UTC  

Then it becomes the official form of communication, which makes it a problem
