TL;DR Summary

Brazil's first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, used an expletive against Elon Musk during a panel on disinformation ahead of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. The incident highlights tensions between Musk and Brazil's left-wing government, as Musk has ties to former President Jair Bolsonaro. Musk responded humorously on social media, while Bolsonaro suggested the incident could lead to diplomatic issues. This comes after Brazil's Supreme Court temporarily banned Musk's platform X earlier this year for failing to comply with legal requirements.
