Elon Musk’s X Backs Down In Fight Against Brazil’s Top Judge

Elon Musk, the owner of the X, has apparently backed down from his months long fight with the Brazilian judiciary.

Mr. Musk has agreed to pay fines and remove accounts the Brazilian top judge Alexandre de Moraes deemed threatening Brazil.

The decision to withdraw from the fight came when X was banned in Brazil for not complying with court orders. 

X Complies With Court Orders

According to the New York Times, X has agreed to implement court orders the platform ignored for months.

X previously failed to appoint a legal representative in the country, failed to block accounts that were threatening Brazil’s democracy and didn’t pay a fine.

While the platform didn’t respond to the court’s orders, the top judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the seizure of X and Starlink linked accounts in Brazil.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian top court has said that they have not received proper documentation from the company showing it had appointed his legal representative.
