Elon Musk's X has finally relented after a lengthy and contentious fight with Brazil's Supreme Court... Musk had for months defied court orders to suspend certain accounts the court had deemed a threat to the country's democracy.
It's a notable capitulation from Musk, who viewed the battle as an ideological one over free speech... The court originally asked X to remove accounts associated with extremist groups engaging in disinformation campaigns favoring Jair Bolsonaro.
At one point during the back-and-forth, Musk said in an X post that he was lifting the restrictions because 'principles matter more than profit.' The nationwide ban, however, was a serious threat to X's bottom line.
