X (formerly twitter), a social media platform, has been stopped in Brazil by an order of a Brazilian Supreme Court judge, after Elon Muskās refusal to name a legal representation for the company.
As stated in an Associated Press report from August 30, Justice Alexandre de Moraes carried out his threat to shut down Xās activities in Brazil in the event that Musk did not designate a legal counsel by August 29. The platform would defy [Moraesā] unlawful demands to suppress his political opponents, according to Xās Global Government Affairs team.
Ongoing Tussle
What X may do next for Brazilian users is uncertain. According to Muskās many posts, Justice Moraes was a ādictatorā and āevilā because of the alleged unlawful political censorship he engaged in. X was the subject of Moraesās investigation because of the spread of false material on Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil.
Users in Brazil who use the X platform said they could still access it. Of the approximately 217 million people living in the nation, about 20 million use X, according to Statista. The decision came after satellite provider Starlink announced on August 29 that Justice Moraes had blocked the businessās Brazilian finances. Starlink is a subsidiary of Muskās other firm, SpaceX.
On the other hand, with a dismissal of the case citing the tweets as āaspirational and puffery,ā a US district court sided with Elon Musk and Tesla in the DOGE manipulation lawsuit. Elon Musk has stated his intention to reinstate Dogecoin payments for Tesla products after the victory.
