I can see the argument that Tesla will be impacted by counter-tariffs, but what possible counter-tariff do you think could impact twitter?

Tarifs on services and advertising do not exist yet, but that would be a fun opportunity to try it.

Honestly I think we should just ignore and let it pass.

Did Brazil not blackhole Twitter until Musk paid up? Which he did? And Brazil went after Starlink?

What do you think China could do, comparatively speaking? If we look at what they did to Jack Ma [1], I could see China doing far more harm to Musk's China interests than the US can do to China.
