Musk decides to close the "X" office in Brazil and keep the service available

The X (X) platform of Elon Musk announced the closure of its operating office in Brazil while maintaining the service available in the country, according to publications published by the Social Media platform on Saturday. This decision represents the last step in the confrontation between the richest man in the world and the Brazilian judge of the Supreme Court Alexander de Morais, who makes efforts to combat fake news and hate speech in the largest economy in Latin America. “Alexander de Morais threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we did not comply with the control orders he issued. He did so secretly, our part here what happened to reveal his actions. Although our appeal on the Supreme Court is not accepted.” A spokesman for the Federal High Court in Brazil refused to comment. The social media platform automatically responded to Bloomberg’s questions. In a separate publication, Musk described the decision to close the office as ‘difficult’. This is not clear the size of the “X” platform operations in Brazil. The number of active users of the country in the country reached about 20 million users until the first quarter of this year, according to the “Sensor Tower” datab industry, a decrease of about 15% over the previous year. The Supreme Court in Brazil ordered that the suspension of social media accounts be suspended for prominent users, and she was forced to remove publications and warned that it would temporarily close the entire platforms. Musk threatened not to comply with the court orders, which led her to open an investigation with him.
