Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has issued an ultimatum to Elon Musk, demanding that he appoint a new legal representative for the social media platform X in Brazil within 24 hours. If Musk fails to comply, the court threatens to suspend X's operations in the country by Thursday night. This legal action is part of an ongoing clash between Musk and the Brazilian judiciary, as the court seeks to enforce compliance with its orders, including censorship requests and reopening X's Brazil office. The decision comes amid broader tensions over censorship and the regulation of social media platforms in Brazil.
