Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”
Who would know more about Brazil's constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?

Insane how the Republicans made 'unconstitutional' into another meaningless buzzword in order to try and dodge the responsibility for Jan 6th.
They had made it into a meaningless buzzword well before that.
Shut up! He singlehandedly invented Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX. He litters the space with most satellites of everybody. He brought freedom of speech back to Twitter and renamed it to a more SEO friendly X. He also supports the greatest president and best white male specimen DT. So let our overlord Musk be.
PayPal was so far ahead of the curve. I've actively avoided using them for a long because of something that happened many years ago. I sense that young people see it as a boomer app.
PayPal could've been the big bank of the Internet and they fucked it up.
That's sarcasm right?.... Right?!
What do you think?
Sadly I know a couple people who actually would say something like this with a straight face >.>
Well, I can see tRump supporters saying this
I'm taking this as a sign the Internet is healing that I fully understood this as sarcasm. The last couple of years I wouldn't have been so sure.
I still know too many people that might actually believe this, but at least we might be on the right track haha
I’m not sure he means Brazil’s constitution.
Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional".
Crazy how a foreign businessman dares making such claims. He really thinks he is the king of the world
and which constitution exactly is he referencing?
The imaginary one that says Jesus loves capitalism and the USA best, and everyone can say whatever they want—always.
The Jesus and capitalism one is always the one that gets me. In the bible Jesus lost his shit twice, and both were because of capitalism. He hated that shit.
Great! Now lets ALL adopt whatever policies that forced this action worldwide!
While any forced retreat by musk, is something to celebrate on it's own, it should be muted by the fact that "The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, the platform said on Saturday." seems like they're just closing their offices so they don't get fined or arrested, but will keep their access operational in Brazil, for now. Brazil can always shut it down any time it likes, and hope they do, but Musk closes offices and lays off employees literally all the time, literally on a whim. This is nothing for him. Sucks to be his employee, but again, anyone still choosing to be in his employ knowing the cunt fascist he's become, deserves all the bad that's coming to them.
Aaah then it is not a retreat it is just an excuse to fire people and whine about regulations
Can Brazil rent out that judge to Europe for a Sec?
Congratulations to our Brazilian friends here on Lemmy for their most excellent achievement. Bravo and well done.
Offices, it (Xitter) will be still available in Brazil.
Aw.
Meh, only the office closed, the site is still accessible. Here's to hoping the escalation continues and xitter ends fully blocked
You mean twitter (now X)?
