Elon Musk is in a dispute with Brazil's Supreme Court over free speech. Brazil's top justice ordered Musk's company to remove accounts violating rules. Initially complied, Musk later allowed the accounts back, risking significant revenue loss in Brazil. The court opened an investigation into Musk for possible obstruction of justice. The situation has become a political flashpoint in Brazil, with the right supporting Musk as a champion against a liberal judge and the left criticizing his defiance as an attack on Brazilian sovereignty. This conflict highlights Musk's defiance against Brazil's efforts to regulate social media, contrasting with his claim to be a defender of free speech despite past controversies on this front.
