Nominative determinism?

On a different note, Obama, the ex-president with theoretically no official power, is calling up CEOs privately to get them to behave differently?
Seems like the Twitter files weren't the only corporate being influenced
The article's phrasing was a bit murky, but I read that to mean that Obama called after or around the 2016 election, while he was still president.
Then its a private citizen calling someone in their network. standard 1st amendment stuff right
If its making a speech about it in public, again perfectly above board.
Threatening to use executive power in private, very much not.
However the USA is arresting people for organising protests, so that whole freedom of speech thing has gone a bit stale, alas.
