Brazil's Supreme Court has removed the freeze on bank accounts associated with Elon Musk's Starlink and the social media platform X after transferring $18.35 million Brazilian reais (approximately $3.3 million) to the national treasury. The fines stem from a legal dispute where X failed to comply with court orders to block accounts spreading misinformation and hate speech in Brazil. Despite addressing the financial penalties, X remains blocked in Brazil since Aug. 30.
