It most assuredly does not. Addressing these externalities is the responsibility of government.
The fact that it requires a free and open market are the rules and since it’s a component of the government the government has to make sure the system is free and open.
I'm sorry, you think Twitter is a component of the US government?
No, capitalism is a component of the government. The point is to get the government out of twitter which records have shown the government was in twitter prior to Elon’s takeover.
Capitalism is not, and definitionally cannot be, a component of the government. It is an economic system
I use the word component loosely
Can you explain what you mean using other words? I am not great with loose language in general.
By stating that, it was a component of the government. In that context I was using component loosely.

All governments have an economic system and each economic system is dependent on some level of government involvement.
Yes but those economic systems aren't part of the gov, the gov is part of the economic system
Bullets are fired by a gun but are not part of a gun
