Elon Musk and Donald Trump, 2 disrupters face reckoning: Analysis

Elon Musk and Donald Trump share bestride-the-colossus egos, an incessant desire to be the centre of attention and a platform to showcase their eccentricities and erraticism. Both the Tesla CEO and the former president have used that platform, Twitter, as a sword and a shield a soapbox to rouse the passions (and tap the pocketbooks) of tens of millions of followers and repulse the other side. Trump weaponized Twitter before he was banned after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Musk was a persistent Twitter poster, taunting stock market regulators and railing against his version of conformity in numerous tweets. Then he decided to buy the platform. Now both face a reckoning this week brought on at least in part by their use of Twitter to advance their agendas and feed their outsize id.
