Why It Matters: The tweet comes in the wake of recent events involving tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is currently under investigation by the Brazilian Supreme Court for obstructing justice in a social media dispute. Musk, the CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, had called for the impeachment of Brazil’s top judge, citing “abuse of economic power”.

Musk’s actions have stirred controversy, as he challenged the Brazilian Supreme Court’s order to block certain accounts on his social media platform. He labeled the court’s demands as “draconian” and condemned the attempts at censorship. This situation has sparked discussions about the power of tech giants and the potential for similar conflicts in other countries, including the United States.
