  5. Brazil's Top Court Threatens to Suspend X Operations

Brazil's Top Court Threatens to Suspend X Operations

ai generated text

Brazil's Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes has issued an order requiring Elon Musk to appoint a legal representative for his social media platform X within 24 hours, or face a potential ban. This is the latest development in a long-standing feud between Musk and de Moraes. The summons was made through a post on the Court's official profile on X, and de Moraes has threatened to shut down X's local operations in Brazil if Musk fails to comply. X has responded by announcing the removal of all remaining staff in Brazil, effective immediately.

    1. This order is based on an unfounded determination that Starlink should be responsible for the fines levied—unconstitutionally—against X. It was issued in secret and without affording Starlink any of the due process of law guaranteed by the Constitution of Brazil. We intend to address the matter legally.

    1. In case of non-compliance with the determination, the decision could bring about suspension of the social media network's activities in Brazil.

    1. Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents.
    2. Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders.

    1. This guy @Alexandre is an outright criminal of the worst kind, masquerading as a judge.
    2. SpaceX and X are two completely different companies with different shareholders.

    1. Until last week, 10 days ago, there was an office here, so this problem didn't exist. Now there's nothing. Look at the example of Telegram: Telegram doesn't have an office here, it has about 50 employees in the whole world. But it has a legal representative.
