Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes announced Sunday that he would open an inquiry into the billionaire businessman who owns X.
Musk suggested that Moraes was behind the ban, writing Sunday on X that the judge had “brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil.
“As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there.
X has faced criticism for accommodating government censorship demands in the past, with Musk saying the company has no choice but to comply.
For example, it blocked some X accounts in Turkey at the behest of the government ahead of the country’s elections last year, while at the same time contesting the orders in court.
