This isn't the "Gotcha!" you, and apparently the other people in this thread, think it is. Elon hasn't "backtracked" on anything in this case. He said the "hate speech" label applied to the video was a mistake, which was corrected. I don't know if it's a coincidence that the head of Twitter's Trust and Safety is now no longer with the company. It seems like incidents of censorship of Right-leaning figures are typically accompanied by another Twitter employee being promoted to customer.
If you're referring to this follow-up tweet, thats not a backtrack. Elon can support something, while simultaneously acknowledging that the video is considered "sensitive content" that won't be promoted by the algorithm. He can personally promote said content if he chooses to. Any argument about him supposedly "flip-flopping" holds no weight here. If any argument could be made, it's that referring to "What is a Woman?" as "sensitive content" is absolutely absurd in the face of what our children are being exposed to, and what is being done to them.
Lastly, I feel compelled to remind everyone here that it was never confirmed that Twitter agreed to promote "What is a Woman?"
Twitter is a social media platform with millions of users across hundreds of nations, used by varying individuals and entities for an equally varying number of reasons. Twitter needs people in place to ensure everything they do complies with the laws and regulations of all these countries, and to ensure that it isn't being used to facilitate illegal activity.

why does twitter even need a "trust and safety" team?
