Starlink Financial Assets Reportedly Blocked in Brazil


Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered Musk's X to name a legal representative or be suspended

Local media on Thursday reported that the order applied specifically to Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk’s aerospace firm SpaceX, which sells satellite internet services in Brazil. “This guy@Alexandre is an outright criminal of the worst kind, masquerading as a judge,” Musk wrote in a post on X after local media reported the order, tagging Moraes’ account on the platform. A shutdown would need Moraes to order telecommunications companies to stop carrying X traffic, although users would be able to get around that through virtual private networks, according to Reuters.
