Last weekend, when Brazilians woke up, they found their X feeds blank and frozen. This came after Judge Alexandre de Moraes issued an order to ban X( formerly Twitter) in Brazil. This followed a months-long feud between Elon Musk and the Judge. When X did not comply with the Brazilian court’s demands, it ordered an immediate ban.
But this did not go down well with Elon Musk. Ever since the ban, Musk has been going while on his social media platform. He has gone ahead to say that X follows all the government rules of Brazil but it denied some restrictive orders. As per Musk, this was an attempt by Judge de Moraes to restrict the freedom of speech in the country. He said that X was a major source of news for Brazilians hence these restrictions.

Now, in a fresh tweet, Musk said, “Today, we launch the daily data dump on the crimes – under Brazilian law – that fake “judge” @alexandre has committed! He can block this platform in Brazil, but he can’t stop the whole world from knowing his illegal, shameful & hypocritical deeds. Karma’s a b*tch bro.”
With this, he claims that he will share all the wrongdoing of the judge and how he is planning to set an authoritarian regime in the country and is trying to restrict how people interact online. And now, in response, Musk will share all the “wrongdoings” that are happening in Brazil.
Brazil is an important market for X as it has a really large user base coming from there. With the ban in place now, let’s see what will be Musk’s next move. From what it seems, the fight is going to get uglier.
