Elon Musk made the comments on the social media platform in discussing his concerns regarding the possibility of a Democratic win in the upcoming US election.
Specifically, the tech giant was responding to what happened in Brazil—a judge’s suspension of X and threats of imprisonment for failure to comply with orders to moderate speech on the platform—might soon be the reality in the US under Harris’ leadership.
The post noted, “When we attempted to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened our Brazilian legal representative with imprisonment. Even after she resigned, he froze all of her bank accounts.” Musk argued that this scenario could just as easily unfold in America if Trump is not re-elected.
Musk doubled down by referencing previous footage of Kamala Harris calling for Trump’s suspension from social media, asserting, “Freedom of speech is under massive attack around the world.”
