X has again proved that it is adopting a variable policy towards orders for censorship from different governments. It is seemingly relative to their relative impact on other businesses of Elon Musk.

Today, X announced that it is opposing an injunction issued by the Turkish authorities seeking to restrain it from blocking a news organization in the region and stated that it will vigorously litigate the case in court.
This is a very different approach taken by X recently in Brazil, where it flatly refused to comply with orders from the Brazilian government to censor certain accounts. That led to X being banned in the nation for a month, and prompted a torrent of abusive and accusative posts from Musk himself, criticizing everybody from the chief justice in the nation to Brazilian leadership.

However, X is still acting based on the Turkish government's request, despite its stated objections, and Musk isn't condemning Turkish officials for doing essentially the same thing.

So what explains the distinction in treatment?

As noted, much appears to depend on the precedent of the prior activity and relationships between each government and Musk, and how they operate to serve or hurt his greater business interests.

Brazil, for example, refused Musk special offers on lithium, which Tesla would require for its cars, and thus, Musk is not really a happy fellow with the Brazilian government. Which may be influencing how he reacts to demands by them, and why he is trying to fuel dissension among Brazilian voters.

But at the same time, there are indications that, at least in Turkey, Elon Musk and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan have friendly relations with each other, especially since Erdogan recently asked Musk to build a new Tesla factory in Turkey and stated that he is willing to make deals on AI and Starlink projects.

Turkish authorities have repeatedly demanded that X remove tens of thousands of posts and accounts of Kurdish politicians, journalists, and others whom they describe as distributing "terrorist propaganda," though speculations were that the Turkish government is trying to control certain stories and silence opposition on multiple fronts. X appears to accept that the Erdogan regime had gone beyond what the law allowed it to do in this regard, but Musk does not wage a crusade against Erdogan on those grounds as he did against Brazilian regulators for similar measures.

Well, absolutely, X has been respecting these demands all along and only condemned them. In fact, X restricted several posts at the peak of Turkey's election campaign last year.
Once again, as in the case of free speech, X would want to resist some orders on the grounds of its adherence to certain principles, if X thinks such demands contravene the law in that country or state; but X would tend not to take a stand on some issues more than others and to resist demand from some agents rather than others.

It's unclear why X is winnowing its battles on this matter, and the notion that it might somehow relate to Musk's other ventures is purely speculative. Still, it does seem to fit, at least, with X acting on similar requests from the German authorities, wherein Tesla's main EU factory is located, and the Indian government, wherein both Tesla and Starlink are looking to get in.
It is essentially the same case as in Brazil with X opposing removal requests which it says it goes beyond local laws. Yet here in Brazil, X saw an opportunity in making an example of the Brazilian government and perceived corruption in its ranks.
X is not taking the same stance in Turkey which underlines its varied approach on this front.
