Well this didn’t take long.
After I posted a story that detailed the fact that Elon Musk owned Starlink wasn’t blocking Twitter which is also owned by Elon Musk in Brazil as per the Brazilian courts, they have flipped flopped and are now blocking Twitter in Brazil:
“Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing of our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil,” Starlink, which has more than 200,000 customers in the Latin American nation, said in a post on X.
This is one of these times where I will default to being skeptical. Starlink is blocking Twitter for now, but at some point Elon’s going to get ticked off and demand that they undo that because of his rather perverse version of free speech that he is a fanboy of. Then it’s all going to kick off with the Brazilians. And I strongly suspect that Elon will come out on the losing end when that happens.
I’ll go get the popcorn ready.
