Elon Musk makes it abundantly clear that he has absolute control of his companies and publicly entangles them (e.g. sending Tesla engineers to audit Twitter).

X was operating in Brazil while being maliciously non-compliant, in a manner obviously directed by Elon.

Ergo, Elon is playing games to operate global companies without complying with local legislation.

I am pleased to see a government willing to put a stop to this madness, and I am comfortable with piercing the corporate veil to prosecute this bad actor who is at the root of public and consistent malfeasance. The US government seems entirely unable or unwilling to offer any enforcement.
