    Capitalism has built in rules against market manipulation and monopolies

    It most assuredly does not. Addressing these externalities is the responsibility of government.

      The fact that it requires a free and open market are the rules and since it’s a component of the government the government has to make sure the system is free and open.

        I’m sorry, you think Twitter is a component of the US government?

          No, capitalism is a component of the government. The point is to get the government out of twitter which records have shown the government was in twitter prior to Elon’s takeover.

            Capitalism is not, and definitionally cannot be, a component of the government. It is an economic system

                Can you explain what you mean using other words? I am not great with loose language in general.

                  By stating that, it was a component of the government. In that context I was using component loosely.

                    I’m aware of that. What was the thing you intended?
