Former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro praised Elon Musk as a free-speech advocate, in his latest effort to build opposition to the country’s Supreme Court as his legal troubles mount.
Bolsonaro and his supporters painted the court as overzealous and anti-democratic at a rally in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday as they railed against Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing investigations into Bolsonaro and the spread of disinformation.
Musk, the owner of the social-media platform X, pledged earlier this month to defy the court and reinstate user accounts that had been banned as part of its efforts to combat the spread of fake news online. The company later said it would continue to comply.
