Before the takeover, Twitter fully complied with half of government demands it received. Since the takeover, the numbers gone up to 80%. Twitter said that he'll post what the government in Turkey sent us but as is the recording, he hasn't. He's removing content at Indian government's request, including a BBC documentary. I find it's difficult to think of someone who is more full of shit than Elon Musk. The latest thing he is pitching, promising, being sanctimonious about trying to attach to his brand pretending he gives a flying fuck about it is for his beach.
