      Oh, Elon blinked first as he should. No matter how much wealth a person have, you cannot beat country in a fight. 😛

      That was surprisingly quick.

      wonder who told Elon that he might have bitten off more than he can chew, and if he is going to fall out of a window soon.

      I mean, he likes Putin so much he might copy his methods..

      Elon had to look tough, standing up to “the man”. he made his stand and will now go home satisfied.

      Forced to make a choice Elon would kill X in a heartbeat compared to Starlink, regardless of what he tweets about free speech

      How? This asshole usually gets away with everything on account of all the money.

      He realized he’d mistaken Brazil for Venezuela?

      BRASIL: Send a rep.
      ELON: Sent the dude like 2 months ago, what.

      I even mentioned it in another post here… On the same day:

      * Brazil’s Supreme Court was considering unfreezing Starlink’s bank accounts, after all, although it’s possible under Brazilian law, it would require a long court battle and that wouldn’t make much sense.
      * But then… Starlink, confirming the Supreme Court’s position that they are the same economic group, despite being different companies, said that they wouldn’t block Twitter in Brazil.
      * So the Supreme Court sort of: “Oh, really? Then the Starlink’s bank accounts in Brazil will remain frozen”. In addition, ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency) said that Starlink was in danger of losing the right to operate on Brazilian territory.

      So that brings us to today, with Starlink finally blocking access to Twitter in Brazil. I’m sure there were negotiations behind the scenes, which is why I think Starlink’s bank accounts will eventually be unblocked soon.

      As for unblocking Twitter in the country, I think it will take longer… Musk would have to back down from all the actions he’s been taking over the last year and apply everything the judiciary asks him to do.

      The hardest part was actually blocking it, which is why the courts tried EVERYTHING before applying the ban. Now that it’s been blocked, the judiciary has the upper hand. People are slowly realizing, by migrating to BlueSky or Threads that hey, maybe Twitter wasn’t so indispensable after all.

      I guess he chickened out as soon he realized Starlink was about to lose the brazilian towers.

      Turns out being a billionaire doesn’t mean you can just violate a country’s sovereignty.

      Musk finally realized there’s an *international* criminal court. He’s got that thing going on still with the boxer from Algeria as well, there might be an ICC warrant out for his ass next year?!

      Well so much for free speech huh? So Musk literally is going against his own narrative
