Elon Musk fought the law. The law appears to have won.
X, Musk’s social media platform, has backed down in its fight with the Brazilian judiciary, after complying with court orders that had blocked users in the country from accessing X.
The platform bowed to one of the key demands made by Brazil’s supreme court by appointing a legal representative in the country. It also paid outstanding fines and took down user accounts that the court had ordered to be removed on the basis that they threatened the country’s democracy, the New York Times reported.
However, the battle is not quite over. The supreme court said X had not filed the proper documentation showing that it had appointed Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao as its Brazilian representative. It gave the company five days to present documents validating her appointment.
It’s spelled “Conceição” ☝️🤓
Yeah, but unless less they’re from a Portuguese or Spanish language speaking country their keyboard won’t have a ç or a ~ and it’s a pain in the arse to type that name correctly in a keyboard without those such as an UK keyboard (as I know from experience).
So give them a break.
That really isn’t an excuse you know. They are supposed to be professionals.
But it’s like really hard. Like, takes dozens of seconds. Dozens! You cannot expect that level of effort just because it’s someone’s job!
lol eat shit
You know, Elon is not the one really dealing with this. It’s still employees.
Not defending Elon or X here though. They got what they deserved.
I wonder what goes through his employees’ heads who are still working there. Do they still even believe in the service??? Do they support their boss?
Maybe he doesn’t have to deal with all the menial stuff, but this still ultimately affect him.
The guy’s about to be the world’s first trillionaire, from what I hear. I don’t think he really cares.
If he doesn’t care, he wouldn’t have this fight.
Pretty sure anyone that’s left are the guys that bought into the Elon mystique, so they sort of got what they signed up for.
If not… maybe they’re being compensated accordingly. We can hope.
So if you’re a hiring manager and someone has experience working for him but doesn’t fawn over him, maybe you give them some serious credit and figure they were probably decent at their job plus they can work with anybody.
Or they have visas that don’t let them quit, or well let’s be honest, Musk is not special, doesn’t really matter which psychopath you’re working for. He’s just loud.
Ah that’s a good point that I didn’t think about.
Space Karen.
If Elon ever starts building android soldier robots or maybe buys Boston Dynamics, we’ll know why.
I still have the space for “robot apocalypse” open on my societal collaspe bingo card. It’s not a question of if an unhinged billionaire is going to someday overthrow an entire country, it’s a question of when.
Musk has objected to legal orders to remove some posts and accounts in Brazil and Australia, claiming he was a champion of free speech, although he has been less vocal about removing content in countries such as Turkey and India.
What a coincidence he doesn’t have a problem following countries with leaders infamous for oppressing minorities.
