Elon Musk has stated in a recent X post that the platform will be pulling operations in Brazil, though the social media site will still be available to use for Brazil’s citizens.

X has stated that Alexandre de Moraes, Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice threatened the company’s Brazillian legal representative if X did not follow his demands. Moraes demanded the site remove certain accounts and content to fight against ‘digital militias’. He accused the group responsible for the spread of misinformation, fake news and offensive remarks towards Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former President.

Moraes opened a criminal investigation against Elon Musk. This was done after Musk declared that he would reinstate the accounts on X specifically blocked by the Justice. However, the platform went back on this statement and said that the accounts would remain blocked.

Musk has called Moraes’ actions as unconstitutional and called the Justice an “utter disgrace to justice”. Bolsonaro’s supporters have also come to criticise Moraes and called for his resignation. The former President of Brazil lost the 2022 elections and the country’s SEC blocked Bolsonaro from entering office for 8 years. It was alleged that he wanted to subvert the election results with his fraud claims.

Therefore, X has ceased all operations from the country to protect its employees. X’s staff in Brazil has lost all control over the type of content posted on the platform. It should be noted that even though the company has ceased its operations, the platform can still be used.

Payments on X may arrive soon as a member of the X research team has gone on record saying that they have spotted a ‘payment’ word’ in X’s navigation.

Moreover, Musk has previously mentioned introducing a paywall for X meaning that the platform may become a fully paid website. Musk has stated that bringing paywalls and subscription plans to X has reduced bots on X Though there are concerns over paywalling many basic features.

Payments on X: Potential Features

An X researcher has shared a few details of the upcoming payment service on X. A screenshot showing the payment option’s location in the navigation bar can be seen. Users are expected to be able to send and receive money, check bank balances, and view transaction histories.

There has been no confirmation on whether or not the payments on X will follow a wallet system or if they will be linked straight to a bank account.

After Musk took over X, formally known as Twitter, he introduced new features and updates. These features and updates have been met with mixed reviews. The most notable feature to be introduced was the paid verification system. The paid verification system was initially received negatively. However, it set a trend among other social media platforms to introduce the system into their websites.
