Elon Musk, the CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, is embroiled in a heated legal battle in Brazil. The dispute began when Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes issued a warning to Musk, demanding the appointment of a legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours. Failure to comply, Moraes stated, could lead to a permanent ban on the X app in the country.
In retaliation, Musk posted an AI-generated image of Judge Moraes in jail on X. “One day, Alexandre, this picture of you in prison will be real. Mark my words,” Musk wrote. He followed this with a series of posts, including one featuring the judge’s name on toilet paper and another mocking his appearance with an AI image of him holding red lightsabers, likening Moraes to “a mix of Voldemort and a Sith Lord.”
The Brazilian law requires online platforms operating within its jurisdiction to appoint a local legal representative. This requirement has fueled tension between Musk and Judge Moraes, especially after Musk publicly accused Moraes of repeatedly violating the very laws he is supposed to enforce. Musk’s confrontation with the judge escalated when he reinstated accounts previously blocked under a court order, prompting an investigation by Moraes, who accused Musk of obstructing justice and launching a disinformation campaign.
Earlier, X’s Global Affairs team announced the closure of the company’s offices in Brazil due to safety concerns for its staff after Moraes threatened to arrest X’s legal representative. Despite this, X confirmed that its platform would remain operational in Brazil.
The clash between Musk and Brazilian authorities reflects a growing global trend where tech giants face increased scrutiny from governments. Similar to Musk’s situation, Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, was recently arrested in France for allegedly failing to monitor illegal activities on the messaging app, further highlighting the ongoing tension between tech platforms and national regulations.
