Brazil's supreme court announced Friday that it ordered banks to transfer funds from Starlink and X accounts to pay fines the court levied against Elon Musk's social network.
Following the transfers, the court ordered that the frozen bank accounts and assets of X and Starlink be released, saying there was no longer any need to keep them.
The court suspended X at the end of August, and the suspension remains in place.
On Sept. 5, his long-time collaborator at the helm of SpaceX, COO Gwynne Shotwell, also took shots at the Brazil supreme court online.
Backers of de Moraes and the STF have seen the orders against X Corp. as an assertion of Brazilian sovereignty.
