Elon Musk anunciou que a SpaceX fornecerá internet gratuita no Brasil através da Starlink até que a disputa judicial sobre o bloqueio de contas da empresa seja resolvida. A decisão do ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), bloqueou as contas da Starlink Holding no Brasil devido à falta de representantes legais, o que gerou descontentamento por parte de Musk. Ele destacou que muitas escolas e hospitais em áreas remotas dependem do serviço da Starlink e que a empresa não pode cortar o acesso à internet, mesmo sem poder receber pagamentos. O bloqueio financeiro foi implementado para garantir o pagamento de multas relacionadas à rede social X, também sob a gestão de Musk. A disputa judicial impacta significativamente a operação da Starlink, especialmente em estados como Rondônia, onde a empresa possui um grande número de contratos. Musk também criticou a exigência de nomear um representante legal no Brasil, afirmando que a ação judicial prejudica outros acionistas e os usuários brasileiros.

Kind of obvious IMO that money translates into less real-world power than ever before in history. In 1800, this judge would be at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. In 1950, he'd be deposed in a paid coup. In 2024... the richest man in the world complains about him on Twitter.
