A standoff between a Brazilian supreme Court judge and elon Musk intensified Thursday as the billionaire’s starlink company said its assets had been frozen in the country amid a feud over the fate of his social media platform X.
The episode began Wednesday when Brazilian supreme Court Judge alexandre de Moraes threatened to suspend X, formerly known as Twitter, unless Musk named a new legal representative for the company in Brazil within 24 hours.
