  Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”

  Who would know more about Brazil’s constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?

    Insane how the Republicans made ‘unconstitutional’ into another meaningless buzzword in order to try and dodge the responsibility for Jan 6th.

      They had made it into a meaningless buzzword well before that.

    Shut up! He singlehandedly invented Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX. He litters the space with most satellites of everybody. He brought freedom of speech back to Twitter and renamed it to a more SEO friendly X. He also supports the greatest president and best white male specimen DT. So let our overlord Musk be.

      PayPal was so far ahead of the curve. I’ve actively avoided using them for a long because of something that happened many years ago. I sense that young people see it as a boomer app.

      PayPal could’ve been the big bank of the Internet and they fucked it up.

    I’m not sure he means Brazil’s constitution.

  Crazy how a foreign businessman dares making such claims. He really think he is the king of the world

  Can Brazil rent out that judge to Europe for a Sec?

  Meh, only the office closed, the site is still accessible. Here’s to hoping the escalation continues and xitter ends fully blocked

  I hate Musk as much as anyone, but it’s a shit decision by Brazil

    Is it not Musks decision? I thought the situation was more akin to “Your house your rules? I don’t like your rules so I’m packing a bag and running away.”

    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.

    These people are the equivalent of Trump’s cult followers, although I’m not on Twitter myself I am sure they are spreading fake news and any fight against it is a win in my point of view. I myself see these Bolsonaro lovers all the time and it’s crazy how they are brainwashed. I know plenty of people who didn’t take the COVID vaccine because of him.
