New Delhi, October 6: Brazil's Supreme Court has reportedly stated that Elon Musk-run X, formerly known as Twitter, made a mistake by paying pending fines to the wrong bank account. The situation involves fines that X owed as part of a legal matter, and it appears that the company failed to pay the correct institution as directed by the court. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes is overseeing the case, and this payment error may affect the return of X's services in the country.

As per a report of Reuters, Brazil's top court says X paid the pending fines to the wrong bank, complicating the company's efforts to return to full operations in the country. According to multiple reports, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has stated that after the fines are taken care of, Brazil's attorney general will provide feedback on the recent requests made by the legal team of X. X New Feature Update: Elon Musk’s X May Soon Introduce Search Button to Profiles on Web.

The legal team has been trying to restore the platform in Brazil. Once the payment issues are resolved, the attorney general will review and share his thoughts on what X's lawyers are asking for to bring the Elon Musk-run platform back to the country.

The lawyers for X have once again requested permission from the court to restart their operations in Brazil. They reportedly argued that the company did not make the payments to the wrong account. The lawyers expressed that they believe there is no need to consult the attorney general before lifting the ban on their services. Elon Musk’s xAI Likely To Soon Open Source Its AI Models.

In late August, X faced fines and was banned from operating in Brazil. This decision came after a Supreme Court judge ordered the platform to be shut down because Elon Musk did not comply with requests to remove several accounts that were allegedly spreading hate speech and misinformation. Additionally, he failed to appoint a new legal representative for the company in Brazil, as required by the court.
