Quick Glance: Musk Cornered: X and Starlink's Brazil Dilemma

Elon Musk has lost X's access to Brazil, impacting over 40 million users, due to non-compliance with orders from the TSE.

The ban on X forced Starlink to comply with court rulings to retain its customer base.

Musk continues to challenge the judiciary, escalating conflicts with the TSE, which has been addressing misinformation and hate speech since 2019.
