Elon Musk is feuding with Brazil’s powerful Supreme Court: The court has become the de facto regulator of social media in the country

ft.com/content/26e54895-a37d-4ab1-baad-701d5ddcf150

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.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil

A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck Recall and Stock Decline 2024

Elon Musk's underlings at Tesla Inc. are accustomed to chaos, but this year has been particularly turbulent. The stock price has plummeted, there has been confusion around product decisions and price cuts. Tesla's position in the Chinese EV market is under threat, and a meeting with India's Prime Minister for a planned investment announcement was abruptly called off.

Tesla is expected to report a significant drop in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered massive layoffs and is staking the company's future on a self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. Many employees are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to implement.

Musk has been discussing the concept of an autonomous taxi service for at least eight years, but Tesla has not yet built the infrastructure required for it. The focus is now on the robotaxi instead of a cheaper mass-market vehicle that many investors deem crucial. Key managers have left the company, and analysts are concerned about Tesla's strategy.

Musk has announced that more than 10% of the workforce will be laid off. Transitioning to the robotaxi service is risky, as regulation at the state and local level can be challenging. Nevertheless, Musk is betting on Tesla making robotaxis a reality by promoting FSD and cutting prices. Some of the Tesla layoffs were poorly organized and perceived as humiliating.

Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam

A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

Musk has previously clashed with Brazilian authorities over content censorship on his platform, arguing that it goes against the law and the will of the Brazilian people.

Envisioning a future where households incorporate a Tesla Optimus robot that assumes various manufacturing and service roles, the CEO's perspective is clear.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges

The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

Elon Musk lashed out at Australia's prime minister after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney.

X was directed to temporarily hide posts showing video of the incident where a teenager was charged with terrorism for knifing an Assyrian priest and others.

Musk questioned whether the Prime Minister should have jurisdiction over the entire internet and emphasized the importance of free speech.

The incident sets up a new conflict between major internet platforms and countries and nonprofits seeking more oversight of the content hosted on them.

The Tesla Cybertruck has faced criticism for various issues, but now a serious safety concern with the accelerator pedal has led to the temporary halt of deliveries.

Quick Glance: Tesla Shares Plummet Below $150, Erasing Year's Gains

Tesla's stock tumbled below $150 per share, erasing all gains made in the past year, reflecting falling sales and deep discounts to attract buyers.

Shares of Tesla have fallen by 12.4% this week and over 39% this year, accompanied by a global staff reduction of 10% amounting to around 14,000 jobs.

Tesla's stock hit an all-time high in November 2021 but sales plummeted last quarter due to increased competition and failed price cuts to bolster demand.

Anticipated lower first-quarter earnings for Tesla raise concerns about potential catalysts to reverse the stock decline amidst uncertainties surrounding the release of a new affordable electric vehicle and strategic shifts within the company.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk Postpones India Trip, Sources Say

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Musk was expected to announce an investment of $2 billion to $3 billion, mainly to build a factory in India, following the government's policy of lowering high tariffs on imported cars if companies invest locally.

His planned Sunday arrival was set to follow two days after the start of India's national elections, where Modi is projected to secure a rare third term.

Reasons for the trip postponement were not immediately disclosed, and neither Tesla nor Modi's office responded promptly to requests for comments.

Quick Glance: Bolsonaro Mobilizes Supporters in Rio

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro rallied thousands of supporters in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday to boost his political capital after losing a reelection bid in October 2022 and facing allegations of involvement in a coup.

Quick Glance: Tesla Layoffs Impact Bay Area with Over 2,750 Jobs Lost

Tesla mass layoffs hit Bay Area's Fremont and Palo Alto facilities, resulting in over 2,750 job cuts. The job cuts are part of a broader 10% workforce reduction at Tesla, affecting various locations.

The layoffs are set to commence on June 14, impacting employees across multiple sites in Fremont and Palo Alto. In addition, significant job losses will occur in Lathrop, Burbank, and Austin, totaling thousands of affected workers.
