Create the headline.

Mine is: “Musk concedes to censor Erdogan’s political opponents ahead of Turkey key elections for financial reasons.”

Sub-headline: “The self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, critical of former platform administration for their content curation, submits to censorship that the former administration had already gotten overturned by Turkish courts.”

Top picture description: “Even Wikipedia is publicly confused by Musk’s peculiar blend of cowardice, aggression, and hypocrisy.”

And he totally doubled down when called out on it:

New lawsuit from this week, I haven't read through the full document myself but there's a quick summary of some points in the thread and there's some unsurprising but pretty dire stuff in there. Like employees straight-up saying they were given the choice between breaking the law or quitting.

I don't know exactly how long these will take to get responses but I hope some start getting stronger traction soon given how blatantly illegal everything involved is.

Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin resigned Thursday evening, per multiple sources, after owner Elon Musk publicly rebuked his own staff over a content moderation decision. Twitter staff had decided that a video titled "What is a Woman?" by the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, a far-right personality who often attacks transgender people, violated the platform's hate-speech rules.

Twitter had recently announced a content deal with the Daily Wire.

When Daily Wire's Jeremy Boreing tweeted a complaint about the decision, saying that the video was barred because it included instances of misgendering, Musk replied: "This was a mistake by many people at Twitter."

Elon is an asshole. I have to wonder why people are still on Twitter at this point. Honestly, just leave. Nothing is going to change for the better and it’s been more exclusionary since he took over, which everyone knew would happen.
