Elon Musk Says Congress Has Inquired About X’s Actions in Brazil

Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has received an inquiry from the U.S. House of Representatives regarding alleged illegal actions it took in Brazil, Elon Musk said on Wednesday.

In a post on the social network, the owner of X said the platform had “just received an inquiry from the House of Representatives regarding actions taken in Brazil that were in violation of Brazilian law.”
“There were hundreds if not thousands. This is getting spicy,” Mr. Musk added.

Mr. Musk did not provide further details regarding the alleged inquiry, including which House lawmaker or lawmakers had sent the request or exactly what details are being sought.

The U.S. House could not be immediately reached for comment and X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

In a later post on Wednesday, Mr. Musk, a self-declared free speech absolutist, further claimed X was being asked to “suspend sitting members of the Brazilian parliament and many journalists” from the platform.
