Elon Musk may have a point in his fight against Brazil, but he's not actually helping
Business Insider

Elon Musk is facing backlash for opposing a Brazilian supreme court order to ban certain X accounts spreading election misinformation. Civil liberties experts argue that Musk's support for these accounts empowers an antidemocratic faction within Brazil's far-right. The judge has responded by launching an investigation into Musk for obstruction, criminal organization, and incitement. The order is part of a broader effort to combat hate speech and false information, following the storming of Brazil's congressional building in 2023, fueled by false claims of election fraud. Critics argue that Musk's defense of these accounts undermines nuanced debate about free speech and content moderation.

OpenAI has released a series of emails that suggest Elon Musk may not have been completely transparent in his lawsuit against the artificial intelligence company. Despite claiming that he had not agreed to OpenAI developing a for-profit arm or moving away from open-source data, the emails show Musk actually supported these actions and even suggested OpenAI attach itself to Tesla. This revelation could weaken Musk's case, as legal experts believe he will struggle to prove his argument without a written contract. Meanwhile, OpenAI may face a disruption and waste of resources due to the lawsuit.

Tesla's Chairperson, Robyn Denholm, has stated that CEO Elon Musk may leave the company if shareholders vote against his $56 billion pay package during the upcoming shareholders meeting. Denholm emphasized that motivating someone like Musk requires a different approach, and if shareholders reject the pay package, Musk may take his talents elsewhere. The approval process for Musk's compensation package was recently voided by a Delaware judge for being "deeply flawed". Denholm argued that the package is not about the money but about retaining Musk's focus and commitment to Tesla.
