The tension does not subside between power in Brazil and the owner of X and future member of Donald Trump's administration. Two days before a G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, first lady Rosangela “Janja” da Silva insulted the American billionaire on Saturday by saying “fuck you, Elon Musk!” “.
During an impromptu intervention during a workshop on disinformation during the G20 Social, a forum bringing together activists and representatives of NGOs and civil society, “Janja” pleaded for regulation of social networks.
“Janja” is “not afraid” of Elon Musk
At one point, seeming disturbed by a noise, she interrupted her speech, looked up and then crouched down, laughing. “I think it’s Elon Musk,” she said, getting up. “I'm not afraid of you either.” Fuck you, Elon Musk! “, she said to applause and cheers.
In a comment on the right-wing X account Visegrad 24, Elon Musk responded with laughter and the phrase: “they will lose the next election”.
The boss of the social network X was suspended for forty days by Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes, who considered that the social network promoted disinformation. Elon Musk has repeatedly accused the magistrate of “censorship”, calling him the “dictator” and comparing him to Voldemort, the villain of the Harry Potter saga.
Critiques of the Bolsonaro clan
* . Alexandre de Moraes finally lifted the suspension on October 9.
“We already have another diplomatic problem,” Jair Bolsonaro commented on Saturday on X. One of his lawyers questioned the possible consequences of the insult uttered by the wife of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva against a future member of the American government. “If Brazil suffers sanctions from the United States because of these irresponsible and totally gratuitous statements, what will happen? “, wrote lawyer Fabio Wajngarten on X, suggesting that the first lady’s comments constituted “incitement to hatred”.
