Elon Musk says Brazilian judge should go to prison in latest attack after X ban upheld in country
SUMMARY
Elon Musk took to his X platform to demand the arrest of Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes after Brazil's high court upheld a ban on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The ban, imposed over the weekend, followed Musk’s failure to appoint a legal representative in Brazil in a case involving the suspension of accounts accused of spreading misinformation and hate. Musk, known for his outspoken comments, labeled de Moraes a "dictator" and claimed he "deserves prison for his crimes." He further accused the judge of violating his oath of office, stating, "De Moraes deserves prison for his crimes" and adding that it's "only a matter of time before this criminal is behind bars." The ban on X also includes a suspension of satellite internet provider Starlink's financial accounts in Brazil, in which Musk holds a significant stake.
