Enes Kanter Freedom, a former NBA star, expressed strong criticism towards Elon Musk on Monday, accusing him of enabling restrictions on access to certain Twitter accounts in Turkey prior to the presidential election and suggesting that Musk was capitulating to a dictatorial regime.
During an interview on “CNN This Morning,” host Kaitlan Collins aked about the controversy surrounding the Turkish electoral race in Kanter Freedom’s home country.
“I don’t want to hear about Elon Musk talking about free speech ever again. He is literally bowing down to a dictatorship. The Turkish government called Elon to pretty much tell them if you don’t ban couple accounts that we’re going to shut down the whole app in Turkey. And he picked business and money over his morals and principles. So I don’t want to hear about him talking about free speech ever again. And that actually plays a very important role because there are many journalists around the world that is critical for the election. He was wrong for that, for sure,” Freedom said.
