Brazil's first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, swore at billionaire Elon Musk during a G20 social event on Saturday at which she spoke about the need to regulate social media to rein in misinformation.

A ship's horn sounded as she spoke and she joked, "I think it's Elon Musk," before adding, "I'm not afraid of you, fuck you, Elon Musk."

That's good. Free world means free speech so saying Elon is a stain to humanty, piggybacking of of people's hard work only to fuck them like a cunt he is, is ok. Everybody should follow suit.

It's not about the money¹. He only cares about free speech² and preserving democracy³.

¹ It is but money is not the primary goal. It is ego, then freed- nope, money is second. Yes, he fucked up with the money but not his fault, right? It's the bots, and once they get kicked¹⁻¹, the value skyrockets.
¹⁻¹ No promises!
² as long as it aligns with his political goals
³ rights to election interference, algorithm adjustmentss and selective moderation reserved

Rather unbecoming of the First Lady of Brazil to get into it with the incoming First Lady of the US.

Thats not even an insult tho. Its just an unfriendly expression of her dislike of musk. But yeah i agree, people need to start treating musk like the criminal piece of shit that he is.
