Musk Vs Brazilian Judge: X Employees In Brazil Threatened With Arrest; Elon Refuses To Back Down

The conflict between Elon Musk and Brazilian authorities started after Brazil's Supreme Court judge Justice Alexandre de Moraes included the Twitter owner as a party in an ongoing investigation over the dissemination of fake news, and opened a separate investigation involving the Tesla top executive for alleged obstruction of justice.

One of the most frightening demands is the threat of arrest of X employees for not obeying illegal orders, orders that have no law and there are other legal oddities.

[Oomdaan]

As a lawyer, it shocked me to see the judge addressing a press conference.
"Judges should stay out of the arena, lest their judgement is clouded by the dust of the fight."

[rasikasharma]

IMPEACH THAT "JUDGE". CORRUPT AS HELL.

[imstevemcqueen]

Musk didn't say 'otherwise' he would dump data, he said get employees out, 'then' do the data dump

[Floralop]

I am Brazilian and Musk is correct about Brasil.Than you, Musk, now the world knows about Morais.

[-solitude.]

As a Brazillian, thank you Elon, for fighting with us against this dictatorship

[duque_bm]

Thanks Musk, you did more to Brazil than our congressists.

I'd like to ask to all Freedom Lovers all over the world:
Please, pay attention to the present situation in Brazil. Demand your politicians to press the Brazilian Supreme Court to STOP THE CENSORSHIP AND THE POLITICAL ARRESTS RIGHT NOW!

[arlesiokakunda]

I have been following this for 3 years now.
I hope this does not stop in two weeks

[arturmedici]

Brazil stands with Musk. PLEASE HELP BRAZIL TO GET RID OF DICTATORSHIP!

[patrickmcardle]

That judge looks completely evil, his eyes are dead.😢

[MrMarcosema]

People forget Lula is a corrupt ex-convict, convicted of corruption and only got out of prison because of judges like this one

[marcosroger]

Don't back down Elon!!! Millions of brazilians count on you.

[Rodrigo-bvuv]

He's not a judge. He's a lawyer who has already defended members of the largest criminal organization in Brazil. He did not test for judge. He was just appointed as a minister of the supreme court.

[tamaramoreira]

I'm from Brazil and we live in a judicial dictatorship. Comedians are persecuted, but profiles with the same ideology remain free spreading false news. Look for the case of the Choquei profile and the girl Jéssica who took her life after the Choquei profile and others spread lies about her and nothing happened, everyone is still up in the air.

[jairofonseca]

All power to Musk, Brazil is under a severe dictatorship.

[brasildefesa]

Telling the truth to judge Alexandre de Moraes is asking to be prosecuted

[topfamous]

Judicial Autocracy must go, in India and in Brazil. Abolish the Collegium System.

[gavriloprincip]

In Australia the the ex Head of Twitter Australia, fired by Musk, a proud WEF Member and now "e-Safety Commissioner" is trying to do the same thing to X/Musk.

[johntc]

How can a judge have so much power? You can tell by his face. He is the worst nightmare of Brazil.
