Brazilian president makes comments after supreme court votes to uphold X ban over refusal to obey court orders

The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has said he hopes the crisis surrounding the social network X in Brazil might teach the world that “it isn’t obliged to put up with [Elon] Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich”.

Lula’s comments to the network CNN Brasil came after the supreme court voted unanimously on Monday to uphold the ban on X, which is now largely inaccessible in one of its biggest global markets.

The suspension was first ordered on Friday as a result of the company’s refusal to obey court orders requiring the removal of profiles accused of spreading disinformation and for the social network to name a local legal representative.

      Well, it turns out he is a nazi and we don’t agree with him. Oh, you’re probably one too.

          “Man, that hitler guy was pretty all right. …Wait, why are you calling me a nazi?”

          I mean, do you just not know what Elon has been up to or what?

      This argument constantly being repeated is so stupid because its so far away from the truth. Usually when someone is being called a Nazi it is pretty clear why and is true at least to some part. Especially with the fascist loving Elon.
