If you're Elon Musk perhaps. But for most people being banned from a single social media site is hardly a great imposition (there's little they can do to stop you signing up for a new account). Whereas losing your job (or even the knowledge you're likely to) could very well leave an average person in a situation that they no longer have the resources or wherewithal to continue broadcasting their message to as wide audience (especially if previously that had been their co-workers in a large firm, as was the case in this situation).
