Billionaire Elon Musk on April 9 claimed that the Brazilian employees of his social media site X (formerly known as Twitter), are threatened with arrest. The tech mogul added that any details he has about Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes will be shared once his employees are safe.
“We have to take our employees in Brazil to a safe place or else not in a position of responsibility, then we will do a full data deletion. They have been told that they will be arrested,” he stated.
Musk’s post about X came in response to Brazilian politician Nikolas Ferreira, calling on him to prove his claims against Alexandre and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
“Elon said that Alexandre has Lula on a leash and that he put his finger on the scale to elect him. As a member of the Brazilian Congress and representing millions of people, I am asking you to give us more information. This will be decisive for the future of our country”, wrote Ferreira.
Musk has been publicly feuding with Brazil’s Supreme Court, particularly Judge Alexandre, for some time over “censorship” claims.
