It’s a showdown between the world’s richest man and a Brazilian Supreme Court justice.
The justice, Alexandre de Moraes, has threatened to suspend social media giant X nationwide if its billionaire owner Elon Musk doesn’t swiftly comply with one of his orders. Musk has responded with insults, including calling de Moraes a “tyrant” and “a dictator.”
It is the latest chapter in the monthslong feud between the two men over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation. Many in Brazil are waiting and watching to see if either man will blink.
Here, here!
A shame about this though,
Was hoping that the court order there would shut down X globally. If only X were hosted in Brazil… well, one country at a time is better than nothing.
How would one country just shut a service down globally?
