Technology expert Arthur Igreja analyzed, in an interview with CNN Brazil the impasse between Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), and Elon Musk, owner of the social network X (formerly Twitter), over the possible suspension of the platform in Brazil.
According to Igreja, in a way, both Moraes and Musk “got what they wanted”.
Different objectives, but achieved
According to Arthur Igreja, Alexandre de Moraes has launched a “crusade” to impose limits and demonstrate that “Brazilian justice is in charge.” The Supreme Court minister notified the company several times, following Brazilian judicial procedures, but was “notoriously ignored.”
On the other hand, Elon Musk would also have achieved his purpose by “proving his point”. The expert highlighted that X has already been blocked in other countries and cited a recent statement by Musk: “I will fight until the end so that all countries have laws like the United States”.
Business impact
Regarding the financial impact on Elon Musk, Igreja assessed that it is not significant. “Elon Musk did not buy X or Twitter at the time with any expectation or concern about the return on this business,” he explained. The expert recalled that Musk owns several other companies, with Tesla being much more relevant in financial terms.
Arthur Igreja also highlighted that Brazil has always been one of Twitter’s main markets, with a significant share of Brazilian users. However, the expert reiterated that the financial aspect is not the main concern in this dispute between Musk and the Brazilian courts.
