    Also, Elon can retaliate & deny Starlink access in certain countries. Although, he’d probably get sued.

      If Elon is threatened, attacked by governments, and WILL NOT GIVE IN, it’s called: “Resisting tyranny” or “standing on principle”. It is the nation “denying access” to StarLink.

      @@vooteimer1234 Elon Musk has a Tesla “Gigafactory” in Shanghai, and to the surprise of many, it’s in China where Tesla sells the most vehicles, more than in the USA or Europe. Now, guess what the surprise is? In China, Elon Musk DOES NOT DARE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT OR THE JUSTICE SYSTEM… EVEN AFTER THEY BANNED “X” FROM THE COUNTRY!!! That’s right, in China, the much-esteemed “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” is not a priority for the billionaire Elon Musk… because in that country, if he says anything against the government or the justice system, they would kick him out with his factory!!! Now do you know why there’s so much noise in Brazil? BECAUSE THOSE WHO TRIED A MILITARY COUP ARE ABOUT TO BE ARRESTED… AND IN THEIR DESPERATION, THEY ARE TRYING TO TURN THE POPULATION AGAINST THE JUDICIARY… IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

    The Chinese have completely banned all Western social media companies and Musk seems to be OK with that given all the help he gets from them. But he tries to throw his weight around democratic governments like Brazil, India, US etc. Time for all of these democracies to unite and push back hard.

    The rule of law of a country is decided by its people and their gov, not by businessmen from outside world. Can a Chinese billionaire challenge and disobey a US supreme court decision just because he doesn’t agree?

    “Just compare how he acted in Turkey in comparison to how he is acting in Brazil. When the Turkish asked him to block certain accounts […] he blocks them and then he goes on Twitter and says: ‘Well the option would be to block the entire country and I’m not doing that’.”

    Brazil teaching the world that a billionaire cannot have more power than a Senate, Supreme Court, Ministry of Defense. Musk removed accounts in Turkey at Erdogan’s request and banned accounts in India. It’s hypocrisy of him in Brazil, many countries already know how to make the move and target him.
