I guess SpaceXs board would like to keep their Brazilian business license, and not face arrest warrants coupled with extradition requests...
It plans to take legal action instead.
The Supreme Court has already backed the decision. Good luck with that.
They're doing it to get Starlink accounts unfrozen, but there's a good chance it won't be unfrozen till Musk pays twitter's fines.
I think it's funny that he forced them to pull that card. It would have been much worse PR for Brazil if he adhered to the X ban and they seemingly cut off Starlink accounts just because he's associated.
Instead, he defied them in a public spectacle and ensured the world knew he was directly at the controls, which turned their hand. Now he will have to pay one way or another.
and they seemingly cut off Starlink accounts just because he’s associated.
There was a WhatsApp message (only way they managed to communicate) where someone on behalf of Starlink said something that cleared Brazil to treat them as operating under the same entity.
Like, everything that is happening is because Musk just keeps making unforced errors.
It doesn't seem like any legal counsel has been involved at all, and he's just keeps randomly saying the worst possible thing he can at any moment.
Oh look, he caved already. Guess that's what happens when your accounts are frozen and you can't make money in the country.
Yeah, but some damage is already done, some contracts with public entities like the military and schools in amazon are now under investigation and may be cancelled.
