Elon Musk fought the law. The law appears to have won.

X, Musk’s social media platform, has backed down in its fight with the Brazilian judiciary, after complying with court orders that had blocked users in the country from accessing X.

The platform bowed to one of the key demands made by Brazil’s supreme court by appointing a legal representative in the country. It also paid outstanding fines and took down user accounts that the court had ordered to be removed on the basis that they threatened the country’s democracy, the New York Times reported.

However, the battle is not quite over. The supreme court said X had not filed the proper documentation showing that it had appointed Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao as its Brazilian representative. It gave the company five days to present documents validating her appointment.

    Don’t overthink it. The remaining employees are just there for the money.

      There’s money elsewhere. And I can’t imagine working with the stress of being possibly fired on a whim because Elon was feeling like it one day.

        I don’t live in the States, but as I understand, it’s hard to leave your company if your health insurance is tied to that company.
