X posts the announcement from its global affairs account, saying it expected Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes to order the shutdown 'soon,' moments after a court-imposed deadline passed

Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court blocked the local bank accounts of billionaire Musk’s Starlink satellite internet firm, in which he owns a 40% stake, while the underlying feud over X put it on the brink of being shuttered in one of its top markets. Signed by Moraes, the court’s decision to sanction Starlink is a response to the lack of legal representatives in Brazil for X, a Supreme Court source told Reuters.
Most of the accounts ordered blocked are run by backers of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, some of which deny he lost his 2022 reelection bid. The cumulative digital and legal disputes could cause X to lose one of its largest and most coveted markets, at a time when Musk has struggled with advertising revenue for the platform.
The Supreme Court posted a screen shot of Wednesday’s court decision on its X account, tagging Musk’s and X’s global government affairs accounts.
