Interesting that they're directly punting through to Musks other business ventures, I don't think his mismanagement of Twitter has led to something like that before.
Hopefully it becomes a blueprint for other countries' supreme courts to deal with this shithead when he won't obey the law.
Unless something has changed, the second biggest traffic driver of Twitter is actually Japan (more than 50% of the country has a Twitter account iirc). A lot of the problems that make expressing your thoughts in Twitter in English such a major problem doesn't apply to Japanese, where entire words can be expressed in only a few characters. The reason Korea and China aren't quite as big is because China bans it's audience from using it and the Korean internet is overwhelmingly consolidated on its own set of sites (due to some dumb cybersecurity laws that prevented them from actually developing proper digital infrastructure until very recently.)
Even Rorschach has more class than Elon.
Rorschach killed a pedophile in the comic, Musk reactivated the accounts of pedophiles.
you've heard of the stretch limo, get ready for the squash limoAs a fan of the Delorean DMC12, I'd like to put in a formal request that the internet stop comparing the Cybertruck to it, and instead compare the Cybertruck to this weird damn Aston Martin that I just found out about:

I'm actually kinda jazzed now that I set up a BlueSky account months ago to start posting my photography. I hope Brazil likes my dogBluesky is seeing a huge surge at the moment because of Brazil. Loads more pists like these, including from BSKY people.
not that I know of. What I've found is that Brazilians may face fines up to 9000$ USD a day if they're caught using a VPN for twitter
For a whole no, for twitter
I saw your post and liked it on BSKYI'm actually kinda jazzed now that I set up a BlueSky account months ago to start posting my photography. I hope Brazil likes my dog
How though? He owns the site, I don't think there would be a board of directors?
A cautionary warning to any Brazilian looking to circumvent this with a VPN; the Brazilian courts intend to issue an 8k+$ fine against any individual who tries to do that, per day.Moraes manda suspender o X no Brasil após rede não designar um representante legal no país
Ministro tomou a decisão após a empresa não obedecer a uma ordem do ministro de instituir um representante legal no país. Moraes impôs multa de R$ 50 mil diária a qualquer pessoa ou empresa que use qualquer subterfúgio (como VPNs) para acessar o X, mesmo o site estando banido do país.
The Twitter Board of Directors is one guy and unfortunately, he's Elon Musk. He bought the company. The only way he gets kicked off is if the company becomes so unprofitable that the banks he lend the money from to buy it kick him out and sell off all the assets (aka bankruptcy).
The VPN clause have been dropped, and yeah it was scary.
At the rate Twitter is going, it wouldn't surprise me. Especially not with how the banks are already talking since Musk has apparently failed to pay back any of the principle thus far and has only been paying loan interest.
Just catching up since I heard about the ban. Incredible. Seize all of his shit.
Apparently the whiny baby is already looking to bend the knee and there's talk in the Brazilian press that conversations are going on behind the scenes to appoint a legal representative for the platform in the country and, therefore, cease the ban. It seems X has already reached out to some executives asking if they want that position.
bro thinks he a sovereign nation who can service debts without consequences
yeah ofc he'd cave. Like I said, the Brazilian market is one of the last things a company would want to lose. Especially when it makes up a giant portion of its traffic etc.
He may find out that he's just Argentina personified.
To my understanding, the main reason the banks haven't moved is a. because the Japanese market is bound enough for Twitter that they think he can scrounge the money for the loan together just from the Japanese market alone if he scales back the size of Twitter (this is likely just copium because of point b though) and b. they couldn't sell the loans to the usual raider funds that take care of lenders that tend to default; the company is so awful in financial futures that they don't want anything to do with it unless the banks actively pay them money to deal with it, which the banks don't want to do.
I wish him luck finding an executive ghoul willing to stand for Twitter, considering he closed the Twitter offices in Brazil because the Brazilian Supreme Court threatened to jail the previous executive (and still has that executives' bank account frozen) unless Elon testifies.
And I sure as shit won't be crying for him.
I don't think Big Tech would want to buy Twitter (and neither would the Saudis; the Saudis want a finger in the pie with social media for political gain, but can't actually run it since that'd piss off the US government, with whom they have a shaky relationship.)
