Elon Musk, CEO of X (previously known as Twitter), has been given an ultimatum by a Brazilian Supreme Court judge: if he fails to appoint a new legal representative for the platform's operations in Brazil within 24 hours, the platform may be suspended. This comes after Musk shut down X's business operations in the country while maintaining user access, following accusations that the judge had threatened the company's previous legal representative. The judge, Alexandre de Moraes, has been leading the fight against disinformation in Brazil, but critics, including Musk, have accused him of suppressing free speech.
