Quick Glance: Elon Musk's Clash with Brazil's Supreme Court
- Serial entrepreneur Elon Musk has been publicly criticizing Alexandre de Moraes, one of Brazil's Supreme Court judges, for the past week.
- The dispute revolves around X, a social media company owned by Mr. Musk, which announced on April 6th that a Brazilian court had ordered it to block a set of 'popular' accounts or face hefty fines.
- Mr. Moraes then initiated an inquiry against Mr. Musk for obstruction of justice, leading Mr. Musk to claim that censorship in Brazil is worse than in any other country where the platform operates.
- The row highlights the power of Brazil's Supreme Court and the debate on regulating social media without harming freedom of speech, which is a crucial battleground in Brazil.
