I think it's funny that he forced them to pull that card. It would have been much worse PR for Brazil if he adhered to the X ban and they seemingly cut off Starlink accounts just because he's associated.

Instead, he defied them in a public spectacle and ensured the world knew he was directly at the controls, which turned their hand. Now he will have to pay one way or another.

and they seemingly cut off Starlink accounts just because he’s associated.

There was a WhatsApp message (only way they managed to communicate) where someone on behalf of Starlink said something that cleared Brazil to treat them as operating under the same entity.

Like, everything that is happening is because Musk just keeps making unforced errors.

It doesn't seem like any legal counsel has been involved at all, and he's just keeps randomly saying the worst possible thing he can at any moment.
