    How things used to work 15 years ago, in general:

    Government: “You must do the responsible thing!”
    Billionaire: “I’ll just move my business to some other country.”
    Government: “Noooo!”

    How things work for Elon Musk:

    Government: “…”
    Elon: “You were supposed to go ‘Noooo!’”
    Govenment: “…”
    Elon: “Not having access to Twitter is a bad thing, isn’t it?”
    Government: “…”
    Elon: “Guys?”
    Government: “…Just go, it’s not like anyone cares about the damn thing.”
