Elon Musk's stance on freedom of speech has been brought to light by the move. With Turkey's political future in limbo, the result of this political decision could reshape the country's homegrown approaches and its associations with provincial powers.

The upcoming elections in Turkey are extremely significant. Following twenty years in power, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces an imposing test to his administration from resistance pioneer Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Pre-political decision surveys show a nearby race, with Kilicdaroglu holding a slight lead. The result is not clear as of now but it looks like second round is coming up.
