Have you tried thinking of his actions through a more than black and white perspective, from a military strategic perspective? E.g. Is it better for all Brazilians if there's a platform they are all already organized/organizing on to still have access to it, or none of them have access to it?
- mdhb 2y agoPolitely… what the hell are you talking about? You think Twitter is some tool of the revolution of Brazil because they had a legal ruling against Elon. Surely I must be misinterpreting what you’re saying here.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThey’re saying Musk may be acting pragmatically in caving. By standing his ground he denies Brazilians a platform on which to organise. I think it’s bunk to think Musk cares about ordinary Brazilians. But it’s a coherent argument.
- mdhb 2y agoThinking there is going to be some kind of revolution because of Elon though is just underpants on the head kind of crazy to even suggest.
- loceng 2y agoWhat about what the Twitter Files exposed?
- anigbrowl 2y agoIt's also bunk in that Twitter is not the only social media platform in Brazil.
- loceng 2y agoThat are willing to take at least an initial stand against government's overreach/alleged censorship attempts?

Contrary I do believe Elon cares about ordinary Brazilians, and ordinary people globally; and what a neat mechanism that him creating highly competitive products and services, allows people to vote for him with their dollars, feeding him, his organizations, and arguably his missions. Also, do you fully consciously notice your own bias when it comes to Musk? Did you notice using the word "caving" and some other options came to mind, or that is exactly and only what came to mind?
- loceng 2y agoYou're simplifying the situation down to "had a legal ruling against Elon" eh?
