Elon Musk furious as judge orders X shut down in Brazil

Musk criticised the judge responsible for the ruling, accusing him of attacking democracy and free speech in Brazil.

The judge demanded technological measures to enforce the suspension and threatened fines for circumvention.

A Brazilian Supreme Court judge on Friday ordered the suspension of Elon Musk's X social media network in the country, after a months-long standoff over disinformation in South America's largest nation.

The judge, Alexandre de Moraes, handed down the ruling after Musk failed to comply with an order to name a new legal representative for the company.

Musk, who also owns Tesla and SpaceX, reacted with fury, branding Moraes an "evil dictator cosplaying as a judge" and accusing him of "trying to destroy democracy in Brazil."
