- Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) has been restored in Brazil after the platform complied with the country's Supreme Court order banning far-right accounts. - The restoration comes after nearly a month of shutdown since August 30. - Brazilian Supreme Court's Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized the restoration of X in Brazil. - Moraes and Musk had been at odds over the issue of far-right accounts, misinformation, and free speech. - Musk's X has now fully complied with the court's demands, including blocking the banned accounts, paying fines, and appointing a legal representative in Brazil. - The move by Musk is seen as a pragmatic decision driven by economic consequences and the potential loss of millions of users and advertising revenue in Brazil, its third-largest market worldwide.
