Musk cannot apply America's rules to the whole world
In a conversation with the media, Musk clearly stated that he cannot apply America's rules to the whole world. If we don't follow local government laws, we will be shut down. The best solution for this is that we should work according to the law in any country where we exist. It is also impossible for us to do more than just abide by the law of the countries. We will be doing our best to provide freedom of expression. But it should be within the ambit of local law.
