Ye's Twitter account is suspended after he tweeted a picture of a swastika merged with a Star of David; Elon Musk replied, saying he violated Twitter rules

@TheeAleexJ @kanyewest I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

Question for fans of the Texas social media law. Should a state — say, Texas — be able to force a company — say, Twitter — to do business in their state, and let state residents sue the company if it doesn't want to do business there because the law is unfavorable?
