providing services to your fellow human beings, not money in any form,” he cautioned. That may be easy advice to give when your net worth is $US273 billion, your electric vehicle company is surging and you can shoot your own rockets into space.

Consider the poll he conducted 10 days ago. “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” it says. “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” More than 2 million users responded to that question and 70.4 per cent of them voted “no”.

His Twitter rants and raves have been wide-ranging and unfettered. He once tweeted, then deleted, a meme comparing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Hitler. He’s tweeted transphobic memes. He’s slagged a British cave explorer as a “pedo guy”. That’s a lot of free speech, and Twitter hasn’t done a lot to curtail it.
