"Elon Musk's Clash in Brazil Sparks Debate on Social Media Controls"

Elon Musk's refusal to comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court order to take down accounts linked to digital militias has sparked a confrontation, with Musk accusing the judge of betraying the constitution. This stands in contrast to his business interests in China, where he has refrained from openly criticizing the repressive free speech laws. Musk's Tesla business in China has significant government ties, potentially leaving him exposed to leverage. Critics argue that his double standards on free speech and government criticism have drawn widespread criticism.
