And to put some pressure on Musk, they also blocked payments for Starlink, Musk's Internet-over-satellite service. The Amazon region is due to it's geographical features mostly using Starlink for it's internet access, so losing those clients would be a steep cut for Starlink.

But I agree with legal experts here that blocking Starlink payments is a step too far, as it punishes many people in Brazil for something that they have little to no influence about.

Elon is such a bad dude. Like the worst.

You got a defence for when he labelled a rescue diver trying to help save children as a paedophile because his ego was hurt?

Or when he gives in to the demands of India and Türkiye to censor political rivals because "that's the law, I can't do anything about it" but when it comes to Brazil he decides it's time to fight the law in defence of "freedom of speech" I wonder what the difference is, hmm. Could it be that Brazil is a centre-left government while India and Türkiye are right wing? Nah, couldn't be that! Musk is just a billionaire man of the people!
