A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has given Elon Musk an ultimatum: appoint a new legal representative for X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil within 24 hours or face suspension of the social media platform’s activities in the country. This escalation in the months-long feud between Musk and Judge Alexandre de Moraes comes after Moraes ordered an investigation into Musk for allegedly reactivating banned accounts.
Musk has accused Moraes of stifling free speech and breaking the law. In response to the order, Musk posted on X, criticizing the judge’s actions. Despite shutting down X’s business operations in Brazil, users can still access the platform.
Judge Moraes has been leading the charge against disinformation in Brazil, causing friction with Musk. The situation highlights the ongoing debate between regulating disinformation and protecting free speech.
