I feel there was a disconnect in communication here. I'm saying that the Ultra Rich Guy and his pet project should be held to the same standards that are affecting regular people and organizations.
Especially if we want those standards to change, giving the politically-powerful special privileges to ignore the rules is bad! It makes reform less likely to occur, rather than more, and encourages other problems like regulatory capture and selective prosecution.
Representatives and government institutions should stop relying on it as a channel to interact with their populace, peers, and media. That would be a good start. Take a hint from DT and set up a Mastodon server for the party.

Shunned & shamed? Certainly.
Formal sanction is a form of govt award and needs to be used cautiously to avoid becoming an endorsement.
