Elon Musk has announced that X employees in Brazil have been informed of their impending arrest following their refusal to comply with Brazil's draconian demands for censorship. The demands included suspending accounts that raised corruption concerns, with the expectation to falsely attribute the suspensions to violations of terms of service. Musk has expressed the situation as a 'war in support of free speech' and has considered extracting employees to ensure their safety, stating 'DO NOT BACK DOWN X TEAM!'. He also mentioned the possibility of a 'full data dump' to protect his employees. This response came after Brazilian leadership's continued attack on free speech, with Musk directly responding to Brazilian politician Nikolas Ferreira's comments.
