Elon Musk then agrees to requests from the Brazilian Supreme Court to build block X

Judge Alexandre de Moraes has been fighting against fake news for years. In particular, it is said that the supporters of the former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro, whom Musk has expressed himself as a supporter, are spreading disinformation and calling for violence.

In 2022, De Moraes also ordered the messaging app Telegram to be blocked for not removing accounts spreading disinformation.
