X's financial assets were blocked last week due to a discrepancy over fines owed to the Brazilian courts and Musk subsequently closed the country's office. Moraes first ordered a probe into X over "spreading misinformation" in April and is now threatening to shut the platform down entirely in Brazil if Musk does not appoint a local legal representative.
Per Metropoles, Musk "claimed to disagree with the fines applied by the Supreme Federal Court and with the order to remove content published by users on the social network that violates the Democratic Rule of Law and Brazilian legislation."
Because of this Moraes blocked financial assets for Starlink and summoned its managers in the country to be held accountable for the fines he claimed were owed by X.
Musk took to X to express his outrage, writing "This guy Alexandre de Moraes is an outright criminal of the worst kind, masquerading as a judge."
