Elon Musk Shuts Down X in Brazil
When you make enemies of your friends, never be surprised to find them to be friends of your enemies...
The tyrannical “Justice” Moraes is having yet another temper tantrum as his oversized ego can’t be satisfied.
He has been demanding X Brasil provide account information not only for Brazilians but for accounts in other countries as well.
Moraes has a Nero-like complex that has only made staunchest enemies of his present enemies and has made enemies of even his staunchest friends, enough so they are speaking out boldly and publicly against Moraes.
Mind you, more than 90% of the Brazilian politicians and government use X to communicate - now there is more of a vacuum for them than there is for X’s users.

This letter demands censorship of popular Brazilian accounts, including a pastor, a current Parliamentarian, and the wife of a former Parliamentarian.
We believe the Brazilian people should know what is being asked of us.
The above is an UNOFFICIAL request - it has not been noted as recorded by the government

Elon’s Reaction
These demands violate Brazilian, Argentinian, and US law!
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1824652682545553634
Due to demands by “Justice” @Alexandre in Brazil that would require us to break (in secret) Brazilian, Argentinian, American, and international law, 𝕏 has no choice but to close our local operations in Brazil. He is an utter disgrace to justice.
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1824839784852013125
No question that Moraes needs to leave. Having a “justice” who repeatedly and egregiously violates the law is no justice at all.
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1824843760934552024
From Nikolas Ferreira,
On September 7th, Brazil will take to the streets in São Paulo to demand the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes. @elonmusk, you are invited.
https://x.com/nikolas_dm/status/1824835606905602446
Elon’s history of similar situations in the past - he has placed the safety of his employees first, no matter what the government wanted.
The last such fiasco in Brazil where Moraes was threatening to incarcerate his employees, Elon had all the employees moved overnight to the Argentinian embassy.
President Milei and the Consulate welcomed them with open arms.
ADDENDUM from X Global Government Affairs
Posted 10:24 AM, 17-Aug-2024 (22.28 views at the time of this addendum)
Last night, Alexandre de Moraes threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we do not comply with his censorship orders.
He did so in a secret order, which we share here to expose his actions (link: https://x.com/GlobalAffairs/status/1824819053061669244).
Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process.
As a result, to protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately.
The X service remains available to the people of Brazil.
We are deeply saddened that we have been forced to make this decision.
The responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes.
His actions are incompatible with democratic government.
The people of Brazil have a choice to make - democracy, or Alexandre de Moraes.
