Musk failed to comply with court orders, including a warning to appoint a new legal representative, leading to the platform's suspension, fines for VPN users, and app removal from stores. Brazilians are turning to Bluesky as X closed its offices over claims de Moraes threatened to arrest the company's local representative.
