There are few things as dependable as the mock-worthiness of a Robert Reich tweet. We at Twitchy sort of love him for it.
In today’s installment, Robert decided to tell the world that he doesn’t understand how ownership works. It was a not-so-veiled shot at head bird master, Elon Musk, who the Left insists will cause the death of Twitter at any moment.
Just because you’re rich doesn’t give you a right to own and break whatever you want.

Actually, Robert, if you have enough money to buy something, you most definitely have the right to break it. We’re willing to bet at least 60% of you are reading this through a cracked screen protector, but that’s your right. We won’t judge.
Did you all have thoughts on Robert Reich’s paradox of possession? You bet you did.
Actually that’s exactly what it means https://t.co/UMEojv85oY

This is not hard, Bobby.
It’s the Reverse Pottery Barn Rule: You own it, you break it.

This is so true. Ask anyone with kids. This editor’s kids haven’t met an air mattress they can’t have hissing within 30 seconds.
Dude… he owns it. It’s his. He can do with it as he wants. Go make your own twitter. https://t.co/2e3Q1NR3Vl

Remember how annoying it was when they told us ‘go make your own Twitter’? We do too, and it’s never going to get old. LOL.
What happened to "it's a private company" and yes, owning something DOES infact give you the right to break it, regardless of if you own it.

Us: ‘Twitter appears to be disproportionately shadow banning and suspending conservative accounts, and we would just like a level playing field.’
Them: ‘It’s a private company! Suck it, losers! HAHAHAHA!’
Ah, the good old days.
It’s our turn now, except their overarching gripe is not that they’re being mistreated – it’s that Twitter may have gotten a little more fair.
Tell that to Biden and the members of Congress.

They definitely think they own us and have no problem trying to break us.
How about fixing what is broken and implementing fiscally responsible improvement related initiatives toward ensuring the Company's success? https://t.co/E05TgYRqhd

Surely, Musk didn’t buy Twitter to try to improve the platform and, gasp, make money? ‘HE’S BREAKING TWITTER WE TELL YOU!!!’
Robert skirts dangerously close to revealing the privileges he and others like him view as being exclusively theirs. https://t.co/fkmf9fv4Ci

Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter. These folks believe they have the exclusive right to own political narratives and a freer Twitter threatens to break their stranglehold on what you’re allowed to hear or talk about.
They are broken. They have no idea how to handle this. https://t.co/0ZEtGxQW6R

It’s truly glorious.
Elon Musk now owns Twitter and the Left for the low, low price of $44 billion. He’s clearly already broken the Left. We think Twitter, however, will survive.
1) It actually does
2) You mean "richer than I am" https://t.co/AaJlWK8odc— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) November 19, 2022
Yeah, we’re guessing Robert Reich has done quite well for himself. We’re sure he has the right, and ability, to buy plenty of things to break.
Heck, he’s taking his best shot at wrecking his reputation on Twitter, and that’s still free.
You can't like own the internet man. https://t.co/68HGcS2fcO

Chad now owns Robert Reich.
Please don’t break him, Chad. His tweets are funny.
