You apparently forget he said Twitter needed major before he bought it.
It’s by design. 🤦🏼♂️

Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.
That sounds very “on brand” for the company these days.
Should journalists start referring to the platform as “the far-right hate speech platform formerly known as Twitter”?

Too wordy. Try: Naxi.

So Bolsonaro won’t get elected, uh.
I’m surprised to be saying this but thank you Elon Muppet.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
afaik he’s still barred from running for office until 2030, as a result of undermining the validity of the electoral process - the same process that once elected him btw…

He’ll be 75yo in '30. Still viable as a candidate.
And, for '26, he’s still the one deciding who’s going to run for his party. One of the options is his wife Michelle Bolsonaro, a vulture from the same flock as her husband.
Now with Twitter out of the equation they’ll have a harder reaching their base.
