After all the tantrums, Starlink will comply and block X in Brazil as requested by the court.

15 days tops and Musk will fold.

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.

A town small enough that he can buy it and rename to Xville, and set up worker homes to tie accommodation to your job and set rents, you say?

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.

Sounds like Musk is going to setup a personal datacentre there with his Teslagrid ...
Contract? No, you may live (may not leave) here, and you will recieve a daily ration of some slimy purple semi-fluid and just about enough water.
