Not a surprise unfortunately. Brazil has historical has issues with government abuse of power. I’m sure Xitter doesn’t want to deal with it.

More like Elon ego was hurt, so he’s retaliating the only way he knows how.
It just that when billionaires get billionaire, money is not as funny as before, so they need to pursue other sources of dopamin, such as playing gods or dealing with politics. In case of Musk, both of them (Neuralink, although an interesting advance in scientific knowledge, is commercially his “god role” trying to find a way to the human brain, and Xwitter is his political tool).
I doubt it in this case. Somehow I don’t think Xitter wants to deal with the Brazilian government
They do prefer to live in their imaginary bubble, but that’s not how life works. He has no issue with being government’s removed when it suits him, but when his ego is attacked, you are enemy #1.
Unlike countries like Turkey, that have never been shown to abuse their power.
