Being the first major platform banning Trump and probably paying the biggest price for it comparing to everyone else in SV, I assume Jack was smart enough to anticipate outcome of his decision is negative: chain reaction from other SV companies, backlash from public opinion left and right, and big drop on stock price. The negative impact on his power, reputation and wealth will be likely significant for a very long time.
I don't like Twitter or its handling of censorship overall, but I appreciate someone with power at such level is going against personal interest in almost every aspect during their decision making, which seems to me is very rare in American business and political elites today.
