    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.

      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 taking this as a sign the Internet is healing that I fully understood this as sarcasm. The last couple of years I wouldn’t have been so sure.

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

        The imaginary one that says Jesus loves capitalism and the USA best, and everyone can say whatever they want—always.

          The Jesus and capitalism one is always the one that gets me. In the bible Jesus lost his shit twice, and both were because of capitalism. He hated that shit.

      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.”

        You’re defending censoring people who are speaking out against the government. How is that a good thing?

          They tried a coup (with the military and the brazilian rural oligarchs), so it’s not “censorship”, it’s enforcing that Brazil is a democratic (even if very flawed) country. The constitution give this right to the supreme court and him (he was the supreme judge for the last election, so dealing with the aftermath of the election is his obligation), so it’s a lot more nuanced than you might say.

          Edit: If Musk doesn’t respect our laws, let him get out of here haha.

          Is it censorship, or stopping (actual) fake news and lies because Musk fired Twitters moderation team?

          (I don’t actually know)

            Moraes have a case in his hand (the tried coup last year), because he was the supreeme judge for the elections. He judged that these people tried to help the coup and demanded that their accounts are suspended (entirely cool with the constitution), as musk doesn’t want that, they’re gone from Brazil and might be blocked countrywide.

              Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It’s written in the article that I assume you haven’t read

              The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election

              This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups

      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.
