Lula did not take X down. They (X) were supposed to delete some posts or accounts as determined by judicial order. X refused. The judge then would prosecute and most probably arrest X representatives in Brazil. Musk fired them all in order to protect them. As a last resort, because of these few posts and accounts, X was completely shutdown. Starlink accounts were frozen and ultimately were held responsible for all the fines. I doubt Musk would face Europe the same way he tried here. That wasn’t anyway a political confrontation, but a juridical, rather constitutional one.
Musk considered himself above a sovereign state.

China made similar moves, leading to capital flight and collapsing valuations. The same will happen to Brazil unless they quickly reverse these illegal actions.”
