FILE – Elon Musk of X speaks at the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition in Washington, March 9, 2020.
The CEO said Saturday that had X complied with Moraes’ orders, “there was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.”
In April, Moraes ordered an investigation of Musk. An order seen by Agence France-Presse showed Moraes accusing Musk of “criminal instrumentalization” of the platform.
Moraes said Musk had reactivated banned accounts, and he threatened the billionaire with a fine of about $20,000 for each instance.
“Social networks are not lands without laws,” Moraes wrote.
Musk responded that while X might lose its Brazilian revenue, “principles matter more than profit.”
