'Free speech opportunist' Elon Musk caved to government pressure to censor tweets ahead of the Turkish election. Critics argue SpaceX dealings with the country's right-wing leader may have caused the reversal.

• Twitter is restricting unspecified content in Turkey before the country's presidential election.
• Musk has complied with 30% more government requests for censorship than his predecessor.
• Musk's SpaceX assisted the Turkish government in launching a satellite last month. 

Elon Musk's reputation as a free speech absolutist took another hit on Saturday after Twitter sided with the Turkish government and censored the accounts of political opponents ahead of a contentious election.
