They’re saying Musk may be acting pragmatically in caving. By standing his ground he denies Brazilians a platform on which to organise.

I think it’s bunk to think Musk cares about ordinary Brazilians. But it’s a coherent argument.




250,000 Starlink customers in Brazil.

Contrary I do believe Elon cares about ordinary Brazilians, and ordinary people globally; and what a neat mechanism that him creating highly competitive products and services, allows people to vote for him with their dollars, feeding him, his organizations, and arguably his missions.

Also, do you fully consciously notice your own bias when it comes to Musk? Did you notice using the word "caving" and some other options came to mind, or that is exactly and only what came to mind?


Thinking there is going to be some kind of revolution because of Elon though is just underpants on the head kind of crazy to even suggest.


What about what the Twitter Files exposed?


It's also bunk in that Twitter is not the only social media platform in Brazil.


That are willing to take at least an initial stand against government's overreach/alleged censorship attempts?
