Elon Musk revealed that X has closed its office in Brazil, citing the reason that after a Brazilian judge ordered X to delete content and close accounts that spread hate speech or fake news, X chose not to comply, and hence decided to shut down the office for the safety of its employees, as they may be at risk of being arrested by authorities. Musk stated that X will still operate as usual in Brazil, despite closing its branch office in the country.
