Elon Musk’s X faces steep daily fines in Brazil for allegedly evading a ban on the service there, according to a statement from the country’s supreme court on Thursday.
The court said it would continue to impose “joint liability” on Starlink, the satellite internet service owned and operated by SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace venture.
Brazil previously withdrew money for fines it levied against X from the accounts of X and Starlink at financial institutions in the country.
X said it wasn’t intending to restore access for Brazilian users.
Before the suspension, X had an estimated 22 million users in Brazil, according to Data Reportal.
