X boss Elon Musk brands Brazil's Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes an 'evil dictator' after he threatened to close down the social media platform if it failed to comply with the country's laws.
The world's richest man and one of Brazil's Supreme Court justices are set for a showdown with Elon Musk's social media platform X facing a ban in the world's fourth largest economy. Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes issued an order on Wednesday for X to appoint a new legal representative within 24 hours or face shutdown.
The dispute between Musk and the judge began earlier this month when X claimed one of its legal representatives in Brazil had been threatened with arrest if they did not comply with legal orders to take down some content from the platform. X, which is accessed by 40 million Brazilians at least once a month, responded by announcing it would close its operations and fire its staff in Brazil due to what it called 'censorship orders' from the judge.
