Elon Musk Goes to War With Brazil Communists Demanding Censorship of Accounts Critical of the Regime

They don't demand much -- just the total control of your speech and thoughts 24 hours per day, every single day.

Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation of tech magnate Elon Musk on Sunday, the billionaire owner and CTO of social network X (formerly Twitter). The probe concerns possible obstruction of justice by Musk who said, over the weekend, he would defy the court's orders to restrict or suspend some popular accounts on its platform.

Moraes also ordered the inclusion of Musk in a broader inquiry into so-called "digital militias," a term applied to people accused of spreading misinformation online to attack democratic institutions in Brazil.

The orders follow threats of open defiance posted by Musk to his account on X, where he now has 180.2 million listed followers.

A defiant Musk wrote on Saturday in response to earlier court orders: "We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to in Brazil. As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit."

By Sunday, Musk was further provoking the Brazilian Supreme Court calling for the resignation or impeachment of the justice who decided on the orders, Moraes. Musk also made unsupported claims that the judge had broken the law in Brazil.

This is CNBC. They claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian op and Trump was controlled by the Kremlin.

But Elon Musk's claims are "unsupported."

Musk says he has information this judge is a "traitor," and he's going to publish it:

On Sunday, the tech billionaire also threatened to publish information from inside X that would paint Moraes as a traitor to his own country.

He wrote, "Coming shortly, will publish everything demanded by [Alexandre de Moraes] and how those requests violate Brazilian law. This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached. Shame [Alexandre de Moraes], shame."

Moraes has long supported regulations to rein in harmful content and misinformation online in Brazil. He has faced pushback from a range of entities including tech companies, far-right officials in the country, and former President Bolsonaro.

Of course.

I love how the left attempts to legitimize state censorship of negative information about the state by claiming that these attempts have deep historical roots -- "Moraes has long supported regulations to rein in harmful content."

And by "long supported" attempts to stop "misinformation," remember that this burst of fascist zeal for thought control actually dates all the way back to... 2016.

"Long supported."

If he was supporting crackdowns on speech before then, he wasn't fighting against "misinformation." He was always just an anti-freedom fascist.

Also there was even an article by the Pentagon and the "intelligence community" about how they helped save Our Democracy in Brazil afterwards.

Meanwhile there are massive pro-Bolsonaro street protests in Brazil but the media (including Fox) is completely censoring them. The only place you can see them is on Twitter/X.

I forget the journalist's name, the guy Glenn was interviewing, but he's a lefty, and he's breathlessly talking about how unimaginable it is that the government can suppress speech, threaten to throw their political opponents in jail, and act like the world is coming to an end when the people protest what they're doing.

33 "Unsupported"...

Except by the Twitter legal staff in Brazil, even before Musk purchased the company. Someone posted a lengthy thread on X that I read last night, that went over a bunch of e-mails discussing what Brazil has been doing. The fact that Legal repeatedly noted that everything being asked for was outside the purview of the laws in Brazil was a common theme.

84 Long Xtweet about Brazil from Michael Shellenberger:
https://tinyurl.com/ye2xdhp9

BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK

I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.

At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”

Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X, @ElonMusk announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.

“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”

At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship. [...]

Trump Campaign Fundraiser Crushes Biden’s... And It Wasn’t Even Close
The Biden campaign has been... insisting that Trump's "low-energy" campaign can't compete with them and that their fundraising advantage is even more important than Trump's current advantage in the polls. Last week, the Biden campaign hosted a mega fundraiser featuring Hollywood celebrities and three presidents (Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton), bringing in a reported $26 million from large donors who were willing to shell out big money. ...Well, on Saturday the Trump campaign destroyed this narrative after hosting a huge fundraiser...that brought in a huge $50.5 million

Biden wants you think that his fundraising is coming from small donors. But it's not. ...35% of Biden's 2024 re-election campaign funds originate from big donors, which are defined contributions over $2,000. Conversely, only 38% of his donations are from small donors, defined as those giving between $1 and $200. In contrast, the Trump campaign has raised a significant 61% of its donations from small donors, with a mere 9% coming from big donors.

It's very simple - you electrify all transport, and you electrify all buildings, and that roughly doubles the demand for electricity.

Simultaneously, you shut down all fossil fuel plants, replace them with unreliable, expensive "renewables".

You then build camps to imprison anyone who complains when living standards collapse.

235 I see the occassional click-bait article where feminists complain about the patriarchy demanding that women go through this painful grooming process.

Look you can find videos of feminists complaining "the patriarchy" makes them weigh less then 300 lbs, shower at least once every few days, not "free bleed" and on and on...

If you gave free reign to professional feminists women would look like Andrea Dworkin after her cats worked on her dead body in those days before anyone found it.
