Elon Musk’s X has been formally subpoenaed by the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee to provide information on orders from the Brazilian Supreme Court regarding <a href="https://twitter.com/GlobalAffairs/status/1779941737860829247" target="_blank" rel="noopener">content</a> moderation. According to an X post, the firm has also responded to the Committee to comply with rules and regulations.

The Brazilian government had come under fire from Elon Musk’s X for refusing to hear the company’s appeal in the cases it had filed with the court. The legal actions were initially brought when Brazilian courts accused Elon Musk’s company of meddling in their operations. 
Nonetheless, the business has consistently supported the right to free speech and expression, contending that the government cannot shut down an individual’s account without providing a valid reason.

Elon Musk was previously the subject of an investigation by the <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musks-x-slams-brazil-for-process-violations-urges-court-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian Supreme Court</a> for violating court orders to block specific social media accounts on X. The wealthy businessman, who was well-known for his strong views on free speech, was contesting Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ decision, claiming it was unlawful, and he was also demanding the judge resign. 
The situation intensified when Justice Moraes charged Musk with evading justice and launched an investigation into his behavior. In the meantime, Moraes’s investigation, which tries to stop hate speech and misinformation on the internet, has political implications due to his work investigating possible coup attempts and the dissemination of false information during the administration of former President Jair Bolsonaro. 
Elon Musk has often stressed that the public should be made aware of the reasons why their accounts are being blocked, the ongoing investigations, and their right to a fair trial represented by public defenders. His firm also stated that this privilege is protected by both the Marco Civil Law and the Federal Constitution of Brazil. The transparency of this process erodes the trust that the public places in public institutions. The dispute between the firm and Brazilian lawmakers is based on this notion.
