In an abrupt reversal, the social network’s lawyers said it was complying with court orders that it had previously defied. Brazil’s Supreme Court could allow the site to return next week.

After a blackout of more than three weeks, X appears ready to comply with court orders in Brazil to restore access to its 21 million users in the country and end a protracted fight between billionaire CEO Elon Musk and the country’s highest court.

The capitulation by Musk was met by relief by many in Brazil. The decision to suspend X was seen by many here as extreme. But in a country deeply protective of its sovereignty and sensitive to foreign meddling, many also felt Musk had gone too far in attacking Brazil’s highest court.

X went back online in Brazil earlier this week, three weeks after Elon Musk's platform was blocked under orders from Brazil's Supreme Court. "I don't think anything about this change was intentional to overcome a block in Brazil," said Prince in an interview with TechCrunch.

Brazil’s Supreme Court blocked the platform after Elon Musk failed to comply with court rulings. As X evades the ban and Musk’s companies work slowly toward a resolution, the real concern for many isn’t just the absence of social media.

Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, has reportedly reversed its stance and complied with key demands from Brazil’s Supreme Court following a weeks-long standoff. The conflict began when Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered X to remove accounts spreading misinformation that were deemed a threat to Brazil’s democracy.
