Elon Musk’s Recent Tweet Triggers DOGE Army’s Excitement

As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for the intersections of technology, law, and society, I find myself intrigued by this unfolding saga between Elon Musk, his X social media platform, and the Brazilian court system.


Today, Elon Musk, a tech entrepreneur known for his vast wealth, posted a tweet containing an image created by his AI chatbot startup, which was intended as satire or criticism towards a judge of the Brazilian Supreme Court who had given Musk a deadline of just 24 hours to comply with certain requirements.

1. Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, criticized a Brazilian judge who warned about banning the X social media platform within the country. His tweet sparked enthusiasm among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, notably Dogecoin supporters. One of the co-founders of Dogecoin expressed agreement with Musk’s criticism against the potential ban in Brazil and the court that could enact it.

In a tweet, Elon Musk stated that he gave Grok this job description: “Create an image depicting a hypothetical child born from the union of Voldemort and a Sith Lord, who later grew up to become a judge in Brazil.”

The tech mogul then shared the AI-generated image with his hundreds of millions of followers on X.

A large number of users on X shared Star Wars and Harry Potter pictures that were created by Grok. Additionally, several accounts related to Dogecoin joined in the conversation. Among them was Billy Markus, one of the co-founders of Dogecoin, who goes by Shibetoshi Nakamoto on X.

In response to his pen pal, Elon Musk, this is what he said: “You must designate Harry Skywalker as your Brazilian representative.”

Elon Musk and X vs. Brazilian court

In response to allegations of spreading misinformation in Brazil, Elon Musk has been instructed by the Brazilian Supreme Court to designate a local representative for his company X within 24 hours, or risk having the business permanently banned from operating in the country. Earlier this year, the organization was accused of hosting accounts that disseminated false information. Previously, in August, Musk announced that he was compelled to close the Brazilian office of X due to concerns for the safety and well-being of his employees.

Additionally, Billy Markus subsequently expressed agreement with Elon Musk’s stance on the matter, as well as providing his backing, in a subsequent tweet of his own.
