A crusading Brazilian Supreme Court justice is adding Elon Musk to an investigation over the dissemination of fake news and investigating him separately for alleged obstruction.

FILE - Tesla and SpaceX’s CEO Elon Musk looks on, during an in-conversation event with Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Lancaster House in London, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023. Former CNN reporter Don Lemon mixed it up with Musk in an interview Lemon posted on Musk’s X social network Monday, March 18, 2024.

“The flagrant conduct of obstruction of Brazilian justice, incitement of crime, the public threat of disobedience of court orders and future lack of cooperation from the platform are facts that disrespect the sovereignty of Brazil,” de Moraes wrote. On Saturday, Musk — a self-declared free speech absolutist — wrote on X that the platform would lift all restrictions on blocked accounts and predicted that the move was likely to dry up revenue in Brazil and force the company to shutter its local office.He later instructed users in Brazil to download a VPN to retain access if X was shut down and wrote that X would publish all of de Moraes’ demands, claiming they violate Brazilian law.
