What to know about Elon Musk’s ‘free speech’ feud with a Brazilian judge
gotta see that feud with Indian judges, nobody asked him to block 8000 accounts, including western media outlets, whatever is he gonna do? :/
The town square shouldn’t have regional muzzles as a feature.
A Brazilian Supreme Court Judge asked X to block 5 accounts that called for violence against the President.
Elon Musk refused.

And he started publically insulting the judge:
In a fresh tweet, Musk said, “Today, we launch the daily data dump on the crimes – under Brazilian law – that fake “judge” @alexandre has committed! He can block this platform in Brazil, but he can’t stop the whole world from knowing his illegal, shameful & hypocritical deeds. Karma’s a b*tch bro.”
Musk responded on Friday by posting on X that Brazil was “shutting down the #1 source of truth” and that its “oppressive regime” was “so afraid of the people learning the truth that they will bankrupt anyone who tries”.
India asks him to block 8000 people, including opposition figures.
He complies immediately. Erdogan asks him to block opposition figure. He complies immediatly.
Dude only respects authoritarian leaders.
Elon Musk, guardian of free speech!
Only the bots have rights
