Let me summarize exactly how Elon showed his entire ass here 🧵:

-Brazil asked Elon to ban 7 fascist accounts spreading disinformation
-Elon refused pretending it was a free speech issue even though he complied multiple times with similar requests from right wing govts

-Threads and BlueSky started picking up millions of new users and Elon began losing even more advertisers
-Elon gave in and gave Brazil everything it wanted, blocking the accounts and paying all fines, gained literally nothing
-Elon hasn’t said a word about it

Judge Alexandre de Moraes said,

"Repeated non-compliance with court orders and failure to adhere to daily fines, with an attempt to evade the Brazilian legal system and judiciary, has led to the creation of an environment of lawless land' on Brazilian social networks."
