Elon Musk still has to pay Brazil to get X back up and running


If you thought the fight between Brazil and X (and its owner Elon Musk) was coming to a close without one last obstacle, you’d be sorely mistaken.

It started a few weeks ago, when Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered X to take down what Moraes considered misinformation and fake news on the site. Musk refused the Court’s demands, and Brazil responded by barring the social media platform across the country. Then, just last week, Musk quietly decided to do what was asked of him by taking down the accounts that triggered the issue, and naming a legal representative for the country, according to The New York Times.

X allegedly asked Brazil to lift the ban after it complied, but the site still isn’t live in Brazil yet. On Friday, the nation’s Supreme Court said that if X would like to resume service in the country it would need to pay an additional $5 million in fines, Reuters reported.

X did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable, but “a person close to X” told Reuters that the social media platform will likely pay the fines.
