Paid articlePaidQuick 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: Brazil's Lula Recognizes Two More Indigenous Lands, Postpones Four Others
- Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva officially recognized two more Indigenous territories on Thursday, but decided not to sign off on four others because they still need to be cleared by people currently occupying them.
- The recognition grants the territories legal protection as reservations to be defended against invasions by illegal loggers, gold miners, and cattle ranchers.
- Lula has recognized 10 Indigenous territories since taking office in January 2023 for his third non-consecutive term.
- He stated that some state governors had asked for more time to resolve the issue, and acknowledged that his decision might frustrate some Indigenous people, but he needs to be cautious and provide them with alternative solutions.
