The Spin
If Musk wasn't a hypocrite, evidenced by his removal of content in some countries while allowing hate speech to flourish in others, de Moraes would have no ground to stand on. But since he is, it's understandable for a sovereign government to request the removal of certain content. When you add Starlink into the mix, which is directly tied to military operations, the government is also justified in not wanting a rogue billionaire doing whatever he wants within Brazilian territory.
While Musk may not be applying his free speech absolutism perfectly everywhere, he's doing more than anyone else in countries that are supposed to be Democratic. On the flip side, Judge de Moraes, a man whose tyranical history includes plotting to kidnap journalists, is pretending to defend Democracy as he burns its core tenets to the ground. Thankfully, de Moraes has no power over Starlink satellites, which will hopefully soon provide uncensored internet to all Brazilians.
