Amid censorship attacks, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro champions free speech from a remote Amazon location.

The suppression of voices, endorsed by certain factions within Brazil, is becoming increasingly contentious.

A notable episode in this ongoing conflict occurred during an X Spaces session hosted by podcaster Mario Nawfal, featuring Elon Musk and Jair Bolsonaro, the former President of Brazil. Musk, a vocal advocate for freedom of expression, had prefaced the discussion on social media, emphasizing the Brazilian public’s right to hear Bolsonaro, regardless of personal opinions about him.

However, this stance was directly challenged by the Brazilian authorities. The Brazilian Supreme Court intervened to block the live broadcast, forcing listeners to resort to VPNs to access the conversation. Musk criticized this move, underscoring the infringement on free speech rights.

Amid these restrictions, Bolsonaro was compelled to travel to a remote location within the Amazon to participate in the broadcast. He stationed himself in a floating hotel on the Rio Negro in Amazonas—a state fully covered by Musk’s Starlink network, ensuring uninterrupted internet access.

During the broadcast, Bolsonaro lamented the selective censorship targeting conservative figures by Brazil’s judiciary, suggesting that the Biden Administration had not effectively supported free speech in Brazil. He voiced his concerns about the broader aims of the Lula government to marginalize conservative politics in the country.
