Brazil's first lady drops f-bomb at tech giant during G20 gathering
During yesterdays G20 pre-summit event Brazils first lady made headlines with unexpected words towards tech mogul. Social-media regulation talks turned into personal confrontation between key figures
At a pre-G20 gathering in Rio de Janeiro Janja Lula da Silva made un-expected comments during her talk about social-media rules (which happened just yesterday). When a ships horn interrupted her speech she made a joke about Elon Musk and then used strong language towards the tech-boss
I think its Elon Musk... Im not afraid of you f*ck you Elon Musk
The tech-mogul quickly posted his response on X: a laughing emoji followed by prediction about next brazilian election results. The exchange happened during an important pre-summit meet-up - just days before the main G20 talks start in Rio
The conflict has its roots in earlier happenings; this year Musks social platform X got blocked in Brazil for 30 days because it didnt:
- Put legal rep in the country
- Follow courts orders about blocking fake-news accounts
- Deal with hate-speech issues
The whole situation shows growing tension between tech-platforms and brazilian government which tries to put more control on social-media networks
