He gave Heyman full permission to say whatever he wanted though. Heyman didn't run what he was gonna say by Vince, so Vince's reactions are genuine. He never gave a shit about his "image" or how much someone insulted him or his business. As long as it drew dimes. This is what makes McMahon a godlike carny without equal.
Now compare this with Tony, who gets offended and calls the Reddit police every time someone calls him a sandnigger (which he is) or says AEW is boring (which it is).
