Elon Musk's fight with Brazil exposes his fear of China
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.
