Billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), has expressed his concerns about the current situation in Brazil, calling it the “worst” among the countries where his platform operates. He reiterated his comments on Friday regarding the lack of response from Brazilian Justice to X’s appeals, calling the appeals process in Brazil a “farce.” Musk highlighted the challenges faced by X in getting a timely response from Brazilian courts, with several appeals pending for over a year.
X has submitted numerous appeals to Brazilian courts, with 42 cases still awaiting a response. The platform emphasized the importance of due process and requested that the court consider these appeals promptly. Additionally, there were three motions for clarification that have not received a response yet. Despite the uncertainties and challenges, X stated its commitment to maintaining its operations and offices in Brazil. The platform emphasized the significance of preserving its presence in the region to allow people to freely express their opinions and engage in open dialogue. X believes that access to the platform is essential for individuals in Brazil to remain connected to global information and to exercise their right to freedom of expression.
Musk reaffirmed his dedication to protecting freedom of expression in Brazil and across the world and pledged to continue taking necessary measures to defend this fundamental right. The platform remains committed to ensuring that people in Brazil can access X and engage in meaningful conversations and debates.
