Probably an unpopular opinion but Elon is definitely in the wrong here. The law is that any company doing business in Brazil has to have a legal representative in Brazil. The US has the same legal requirement for businesses, it's called an officer or registered agent. Every business has to have one in any country they operate. When I started my business I had to have one just like everyone else.
Twitter decided they didn't need to have one, Brazil told them they did, Elon told them to fuck off and now Twitter has to deal with the consequences.
You don't seem to be fully caught up on the situation, as there was a legal representation but she resigned and the judge froze her shit.
Elon is not in the wrong here; Elon refused to bow to their requirements to suppress free speech, and so Elon bowed out.
No, I'm well aware. Their rep didn't resign, X made the decision to cease operations rather than comply with Brazilian law. Just because Elon, you, or I don't agree with the law it doesn't mean he can ignore it without consequences.
Doesn't matter what you say, he's not in the wrong.
He pulled out.
Then on top of that, they're punishing their own citizens for bypassing a ban placed on a company.
That shows who is truly in the wrong. It is quite clear what the goal is.
