      I think elon called Lula a dictator…and called the UK a dictatorship. That makes it even more obvious what he’s doing.

          Yes, but that’s not a dictator fetish (ok, it is, but it is a different one)… He knows dictators are a bad thing to be, because he calls the people he doesn’t like one. But he never calls out actual dictators, he actually makes deals with them and helps them. That says he likes and respects that model of governance, even if he knows it is deeply unpopular and deeply disrespects functioning democracies. And uses it to rouse his stans.

      X restricted Imamoglu’s account in Turkey complying with a legal request by Turkish authorities who cited national security and public order concerns.

      X complied with a legal order, and are challenging it in court just like they do every other time a government orders something like this to be done.

      Put the pitchfork away.
