The last time I checked, Elon Musk folded up like a cheap suit when it came to his fight with Brazil by complying with everything they wanted him to comply with. But apparently its not quite over as Elon is going to have to write another cheque to Brazil:
Reuters and other publications have reported on an order from the country’s Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes stating that the Elon Musk-owned social network could “immediately return to its activities in national territory” if it pays a fine of 10 million reais (around $1.9 million).
That’s on top of the 18.3 million reais ($3.4 million) X had already been fined. Brazil froze accounts belonging to X and Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink in order to pay the fine, but to move forward, Moraes said Starlink needs to drop its appeal against the payments.
Well, this could be interesting. The Brazilians are clearly making Elon tap-dance to their tune. And Elon, at least for now, seems to be dancing away. Thus you have to wonder if he will continue this dance in order to get Twitter back into Brazil, or if at some point he will go back to the Elon that we all love to hate.
Watch this space.
