š§š· 2022: ELON CELEBRATED AS HERO | NOW BATTLING FULL-SCALE ATTACKS
In 2022, President Bolsonaro honored Elon with Brazilās prestigious Order of Defense Merit, celebrating their collaboration in bringing Starlink to rural Brazil.
Together, they were praised for revolutionizing connectivity in the Amazon, empowering 19,000 remote schools, and championing the freedom of information across the country.
But just two years later, the tide has turned dramatically.
Corruption has infiltrated Brazilās justice system, and Elon, once seen as a hero, is now being targeted in a full-scale assault.
The Supreme Court, specifically Judge Alexandre de Moraes, has not only frozen Starlinkās assets but also ordered the shutdown of Elonās social platform X in Brazil.
This drastic move stems from the @elonmusk and šās refusal to comply with censorship orders to silence political voices critical of the current government.
Elonās companies, which once symbolized the future of free speech and connectivity for Brazil, are now under attack.
Starlink's 23 ground stations across Brazil are at risk of being seized, while Moraes' crusade extends to hefty fines and legal threatsāundermining the very foundation of communication in the country.
With Brazilās justice system using unchecked power to crush dissent, the question lingers: how far will this corrupt system go to silence voices who dare to challenge the overlords?
