Mr. Musk and Brazilian judiciary are at loggerheads over restrictions on X's account.

Musk said that Brazil was putting pressure on him by imposing huge fines, but he also said that protecting freedom of speech is a priority. Brazil's justice minister has strengthened his confrontational stance with Mr. Musk, posting such things as ``Regulation of SNS is urgently needed'' in order to counter disinformation. After Musk announced the lifting of restrictions, multiple media outlets including Reuters reported on the 7th that Brazilian judicial authorities were investigating him on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
