Took him 16 days, but he did. Blocked the fascists accounts and X is looking for a legal representative in Brazil. Hopefully, countries around the world learned the lesson.
In the end, what he managed to accomplish was tarnish X reputation even more and make something like Bluesky a real alternative to X. Absolute genius.

How smart are the lawyers in Brazil and how does the legal system work when it comes to not paying your lawyers in relation to cases in Brazil?

Not a lawyer myself, but there are top notch firms all around. Brazilian society is very litigious, we are conditioned to take the notion of a written law very seriously*. We have a saying here mocking this way of thinking which could be translated to something like "Brazil will become a first world nation, we will pass a law to sort that out". Or "becoming a first world nation by force of a decree". We are that weird.
(I don't mean in the sense that nobody breaks the law. It's like the fact that if there is some law written somewhere, it has a power of its own, like law shapes reality, and not the other way around, as is the case in US, UK and a bunch of other countries where laws are derived from customs). We owe this bizarre way of thinking to our founding myths, all built around positivism.
As penalties for not paying up your lawyers. Well, anything up to asset seizure. Not paying your lawyer is very serious business here, specially very expensive ones, as is everywhere else. In X's case, I can see a law firm doing as the court did and going after Starlink money, for example.

Not the most dramatic Musk headline, but it still strikes me as an Elon Antic™.
Elon Musk officially moves X headquarters from California to Texas
Not Austin, not Dallas....Bastrop. What could go wrong with moving a multi-billion dollar tech company to a town of 10,000 people?
I feel like this is just bad for everyone...it's likely going to do some real wreckage to the town of Bastrop and it will likely force people who live in San Francisco now to move to a town basically in the middle of nowhere. I wonder how much longer Texans are going to be happy about Bay Area tech companies moving to their area? I think Austinites have already tapped out...
As a Bay Area resident not in tech, I'll just say - you don't want them...trust me.

Ooof. I have spent a lot of time in Bastrop. Your assessment is accurate. Also, nobody wants to live in Bastrop. It's like being in a sauna.

So what Walt Disney originally wanted Epcot to be (his own little fiefdom where nobody can vote him out of office), minus the tourists traipsing through your house during the day to gawk at this season's kitchen appliances and lead-based interior paint colors. And instead of spending years building it from scratch, he can just pick up a pre-assembled one that's likely desperate enough to sell out.

Oh, that's already been happening for a long, long time.
Any time someone I know makes such a remark, I tell them to, "Blame our dumb ass governor, then. For all the "Don't California My Texas" crap, he's the one welcoming all the West Coast companies with open arms". The always interesting bits of this are, A) a lot of the employees move back eventually, B) many of the "dreaded" Californians are Republicans, & C) these mouth breathers who shout the loudest about "how full Texas is" are not originally from Texas, either.

Not surprising at all. IIRC, residents were concerned last year in another part of Tx, when the Boring Company said it was going to discharge its wastewater in their nearby river.
Leon simply does not care & my guess is he'll cry about his "freedumb" being attacked if he comments on the case.

Kremlin-backed Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has claimed that he provided two modified Tesla Cybertrucks to Russian forces operating in occupied Ukrainian territory. The futuristic vehicles, armed with machine guns, are reportedly in use by troops participating in what Russia refers to as the...
