Just to clarify, Elon Musk decided to withdraw any X representative from Brazil. Due to laws (Brazilian LGPD) it's illegal to a social media work in Brazil without a legal representative. The Supreme Federal Court demanded X to set a legal representative in Brazil, which Elon Musk ignored and denied this demand.

X is operaring illegaly in Brazil and Elon Musk is trying to instigate the irrational and extreme right-wing, spreading fake news and acting like he is victim.

The Supreme Federal Court should suspend X today until it regularize itself according to Brazilian laws. If it does not regularize, it will be indefinitely suspended.
