Twitter limits access to some tweets in Turkey ahead of tight election

Musk announced that Twitter would censor access to tweets in Turkey to placate Erdoğan.

This is the same excuse that Apple used for helping to carry out Chinese censorship in China. But is Turkey really better off having Twitter keep operation under Erdoğan's censorship, than having him very visibly shut it down? I don't think so.

*Musk, with business relationships in Turkey, comes under fire for Twitter censorship aiding [Erdoğan] whom he knows personally.*

Is Musk's excuse bogus as well as wrong? Others claim he is censoring Twitter more than the Turkish regime demands of other media. Maybe Musk simply desired to boost autocracy in Turkey, and only pretends he is doing so under threat.
