Brazil’s Supreme Court had a problem: Elon Musk's social network, X, was not paying fines and had already been blocked across the nation. So the court took an unusual maneuver: It made a different Musk-controlled company help settle the bill. nyti.ms/4d5P9wQ

Ainda não vejo um opção para tradução aqui, então vou postar em português também. Na briga entre Musk e o Brasil, estou muito interessado no que vai acontecer com a Starlink, que está se recusando a bloquear o X. Escrevi uma matéria longa sobre toda essa situação. É gratuita: nyti.ms/47de8gM
