SpaceX Pulls Employees from Brazil, Discourages Travel There(wsj.com)

    The judge ordered the temporary ban of a few accounts during the investigation of the riots in the National Congress after the last election.
    The accounts were banned, but Musk ordered them to be unbanned.
    A fine was then stipulated for each day the accounts remained active.
    The fines kept accumulating, and Musk stated that X would neither pay the fees nor ban the accounts.
    The judge called the legal representative to give explanations.
    The order was again ignored.
    The judge threatened the legal representative with arrest.
    X closed all offices and dismissed all personnel in Brazil.
    The judge warned that having a legal representative in the country is a legal requirement and gave a few days for a new one to be appointed.
    No representative was appointed, and X was banned in the country.
    The judge argued that X and SpaceX are under the same monetary umbrella and blocked the accounts of SpaceX in Brazil to pay the fines.
    A supreme court committee voted and said the judge’s orders on blocking X were legal.
    There is still debate about whether SpaceX can be held accountable for X’s fines.
