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.

Blackouts spark fears of grid ‘collapse’ in Brazil’s biggest city: Power outages in São Paulo reflect chronic underinvestment in country’s infrastructure
ft.com/content/6c1356e6-bd9e-45e0-95fd-7b083384f5da
Quick Glance: Blackouts Threaten Grid 'Collapse' in São Paulo
- São Paulo faces the collapse of its electrical grid following years of underinvestment, leading to widespread blackouts in the largest city in the Americas.
- Chronic power outages in São Paulo are attributed to underinvestment in Brazilian infrastructure, with both city officials and the federal government holding Enel, the Italian energy group, accountable for the issues.
- Despite government infrastructure spending, private sector investment remains high, with over 90 percent of expenditures in the electricity sector coming from private companies.
- Experts suggest that a long-term solution to the power issues in São Paulo could involve a program to lay cables underground, while political parties use the crisis for their own agendas and Enel receives both criticism and praise for their investments.
