Elon Musk Offers Free Internet in Brazil Amid Feud with Justice Alexandre de Moraes
Aug 29, 2024, 11:56 PM
A public feud has erupted between Elon Musk and Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes over allegations of censorship and judicial overreach. The conflict began when X, a company associated with Musk, failed to comply with legal orders to block accounts accused of spreading fake news and hate messages. In response, de Moraes ordered the blocking of Starlink's financial accounts in Brazil, prompting Musk to accuse the judiciary of abusing its power. Musk, who owns about 40% of SpaceX, argues that this action unfairly punishes other shareholders and the people of Brazil. Despite the legal challenges, Musk has decided to provide Starlink users in Brazil with free internet access rather than shutting it off. The situation has drawn international attention, with figures like Eduardo Bolsonaro highlighting what they perceive as de Moraes's tyranny. Starlink managers are reportedly involved in the ongoing dispute, with Musk stating, "The people of Brazil ought to know that there is an abuse of judicial power to an extreme degree."
