I’m glad I don’t live in Brazil. Why ban X? It makes no sense.

Because X is not complying with the law in that country.

Whether the law is right or not is irrelevant. You either comply or leave.

Wow sounds totalitarian. Maybe it’s for the best that Musk disassociates with Brazil.

If they just had more oil, then US could bring them democracy.

But what does that have to do with Brazil’s dictatorship and Elon Musk?
