    I don’t know anything about politics in Turkey.

    But now I know who to support; if Elon hates him, he’s my guy.

    Musk doesn’t even have a stake in this, he does this because he can and he’s unaccountable.

    But can we post about Turkey here?

    • Musk hates democracy and the EU because they want to regulate twitter (and are generally one of the biggest pro-consumer forces), so if he supports someone in Europe they are probably on the side of weakening the EU and/or democracy.

        Yes, but in Turkey? Musk is usually motivated by personal gain and approval seeking so I’m not sure how Erdogan fits into this. Yes, he’s a right wing autocrat, like almost everyone else in the area. I guess it was just a matter of remaining compliant with local laws / authorities because they have shown they can disconnect Twitter when they want.

    • As long as the post concerns the European part of Turkey. :) No seriously, Turkey seems close enough.
