His post prompted severe online reactions.
“Tim Walz’s attorney general in Minnesota — Keith Ellison — thanks Brasil for crushing free speech platform X,” said The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemmingway.
Brazil’s government is fining people 50,000 reais per day for people accessing X.
A minimum wage workers YEARLY salary in Brazil is 17,000 reais.
They’re fining people 3 times the YEARLY salary of a poor Brazilian for looking at a website and Tim Walz’s top lawman loves it. https://t.co/kFtdPjIKYE pic.twitter.com/HPaAZWaw7l

As Breitbart News reported, Brazil blocked “Elon Musk’s X social media platform after the SpaceX and Tesla CEO refused to comply with the nation’s demands to blacklist certain accounts.
Musk claimed on his platform that the country also froze the assets of Starlink, his satellite internet company.
“Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the country’s telecom agency to block access to X across Brazil, adding that anyone caught trying to access the social media platform could be fined nearly $9,000 per day, according to a report by the New York Times,” it added. “The move reportedly came after Musk closed his X office in Brazil after Moraes threatened to make arrests over ignoring his demands to remove X accounts that he said broke Brazilian laws.”
