The Brazilian Supreme Court noted that Judge de Moraes had ruled to transfer over 7.28 million Brazilian reais ($1.3 million) from an X bank account and almost 11.07 million Brazilian reais ($1.99 million) from a Starlink account. The assets were unfrozen after about $3.3 million in funds were transferred to the government to cover fines incurred by X, which raised questions about the fairness of freezing funds of separate entities.
Legal analysts have expressed concerns about the Brazilian Supreme Court judge's decision to freeze Starlink's assets to cover fines incurred by X, highlighting that these two entities operate as distinct businesses with their own investors. By penalizing Starlink, individuals and groups uninvolved in the issues regarding X and Elon Musk were adversely affected.
Following the payment of full owed amounts, Justice de Moraes considered it unnecessary to keep the bank accounts frozen, leading to the immediate unfreezing of financial assets associated with both Starlink and X. This decision comes amid ongoing tensions between Musk and the Brazilian authorities.
