Brazil's Top Court Suspends Elon Musk's X Nationwide

Brazil’s top court ordered the immediate suspension of X in the country after its billionaire owner Elon Musk defied orders to name a legal representative for the social network in Latin America’s largest nation. #elonmusk #musk #twitter #brazil #worldnews #politics #business #tech

The banning of the platform formerly known as Twitter caps a months-long feud between Musk and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is spearheading efforts to combat fake news and hate speech that he says are harming Brazil’s democracy.

Well done Brazil. Someone needed to reign on the X far right big bully! Let the rest of the World follow suit and put him in his place! To those much is given much is expected!

Why do we care what Brazil thinks, if you can use it, you can use it, if you can't, you cant. If you want to use it, you can, if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. Just don't complain when other people do. Leave them to it. Doesn't hurt you.

It’s sad that Elon chose to use his superpowers for evil instead of for good.
