Starlink in Brazil’s Crosshairs as Spat Over Elon Musk’s X Escalates

By Arjun Kharpal

Brazil’s telecommunications regulator threatened sanctions against Elon Musk’s satellite internet firm Starlink, as a public confrontation with the billionaire escalates over the country’s decision to block his social media company X.

Last week, Brazil’s supreme court ordered a nationwide suspension of X for not appointing a legal representative by a court-mandated deadline, in line with the country’s laws. That ruling was upheld Monday by a panel of federal supreme court justices.
