In a broadcast on social networks on Thursday (19), Bolsonaro announced that he will leave “for São Paulo, where we have a meeting tomorrow.” [hoje] with a person recognized around the world, who comes to help our Amazon.”

“I will have a good team of ministers with me”, continued the Chief Executive.

On April 25, Musk announced the purchase of Twitter for $44 billion. However, last Friday (13), he suspended negotiations with the social network.

Communications Minister Fábio Faria told CNN that he is putting his chips in the end of the ban on Twitter users, following Musk’s offer.

“With him, no one will be banned,” said Faria. The politician said he still does not believe that the negotiation will impact the elections in Brazil.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO declared that he would reverse former US President Donald Trump’s ban on the application. The comment was made on May 10 during a speech at a Financial Times conference on the future of cars.
