Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro became an X advocate when during the Brazilian election the platform refused demands to take down users who supported him.
His administration granted Musk the right to operate Starlink in Brazil and awarded Musk with a medal in recognition of his contributions to the country. Bolsonaro’s supporters are also visible fans of the tech billionaire.
The attacks on X continue as the platform remains blocked in Brazil. Musk is doubling-down on his commitment to defending freedom of speech globally, despite pressure from foreign governments.
