Elon Musk, the owner of X Corp, expressed concerns over the court order, stating that it could lead to significant revenue loss and potential closure of X Corp's offices in Brazil. He vowed to legally challenge the order wherever possible.
The social media company is uncertain about the reasons behind the blocking orders and is barred from providing information about the affected accounts. Moreover, X Corp faces the threat of daily fines if it fails to comply with the court orders.
The situation underscores broader issues concerning free speech and judicial oversight in Brazil, with Musk referring to a user's post regarding Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes' actions against perceived free speech violations.
Moraes previously initiated investigations into executives at other tech companies over issues related to freedom of expression.
