Elon Musk's relationship with Twitter, now known as X, has evolved dramatically from initial skepticism to ownership, as detailed in the upcoming book "Character Limit". Despite early dismissals of the platform, Musk recognized its potential for direct communication with his audience, leading to his eventual acquisition of the platform. Currently, X faces significant legal challenges in Brazil, where the Supreme Court upheld a ban on the platform for failing to comply with local regulations, which Musk criticized as censorship. This ban affects around 212 million users and imposes fines on those attempting to access the platform via VPNs. Musk's comments on government bureaucracy liken it to a DMV at scale, reflecting his broader frustrations with regulatory bodies. The ongoing conflict between Musk and Brazilian authorities highlights the international scrutiny X faces regarding misinformation and platform governance.
