Does that constitute Hypocrisy? I agree that the intimidation of the judiciary is detestable. However, to my understanding he is still acknowledging the power of the court to bind or compel action, or at least making the pretext of doing so. Based on this, I don't see the hypocrisy of following judicial rulings in Turkey as well. Inversely, if he was defying similar judicial rulings in each country, on similar basis, that wouldn't be hypocrisy either. The closest is probably the situation in Brazil, where twitter refused several orders, but ultimately ended up complying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Twitter_in_Brazil#Background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Twitter_in_Brazil#...

Yet he kicks and screams with every ruling decrying his actions illegal in America. Meanwhile, while Turkey asks him to stop his free speaking, crickets. That is the hypocrisy. He doesn’t stand for free speech. He stands for himself. > closest is probably the situation in Brazil, where twitter You’re still muddling Elon with his beards. What Twitter or Tesla do on their own is almost orthogonal to our modern Caligula’s preferences when he commands them.
