Elon Musk described the ban on his platform as an attack on freedom of expression, and stepped up his criticism of Brazil’s Supreme Court and the government.
Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet company, has also reportedly refused to comply with the Brazilian court order to block X. This could result in similar sanctions for Starlink to those imposed on X.
