As another commenter noted, the illegal content (under Brazilian law) on Twitter is one thing, but additionally Twitter has not responded to any legal action and does not have a representative in the country, which Brazilian law requires of them (https://apnews.com/article/brazil-x-elon-musk-shutdown-moraes-supreme-court-twitter-70fdaeef282e1ac7d649b99cf8241b42 https://apnews.com/article/brazil-x-elon-musk-shutdown-morae...). Musk can whine all he wants, but boring procdural rules still apply to him.
Additionally, Musk complies prolifically with censorship requests when they come from racist fascists like Narendra Modi. The source for that is literally Twitter itself in its report on removal requests (the link is in this article): https://restofworld.org/2023/elon-musk-twitter-government-orders/ https://restofworld.org/2023/elon-musk-twitter-government-or... .
What's the difference? Well, Musk likes Modi and his vicious crackdown on Muslims, and he doesn't like Lula's government because he's a popular leftist. Like, you don't have to agree with either side to see that the only principle at play here is Musk's personal political grievances.
