Because one has the backing of ALL institutions and media, the other has the ENTIRE ire of every institution and media and the eye of Sauron on any of his associates.

I can't tell if they are being shortsighted idiots, live by principles alone regardless of consequences or actually trying to destroy Twitter and/or Elon by trying to goad him to bring Alex back right now. Alex said it himself, he knows why he isn't being brought back, Twitter is way too vulnerable right now to external threats (Google/Apple app store) and internal threats. Be glad Elon was in a position to bring back Project Veritas right now as that'll help a lot.
