This action follows a request from the Attorney General's Office, which has initiated an investigation into the conduct of Elon Musk, the owner of the social network.
As outlined in the thesis established by the Supreme Court, the state bears civil liability for fatalities or injuries arising from police operations.
In his ruling, Justice Moraes pointed out that Elon Musk’s company is pursuing "jurisdictional immunity" to evade the impact of Brazilian court decisions.
Justice Moraes said the move was motivated by the possible “deliberate criminal instrumentalization of social network X.” In addition, the opening of a new case comes as a result of Musk’s recent statements, such as that he would release X accounts suspended by Brazilian rulings.
According to Justice Fux, the power of the Armed Forces is circumscribed and precludes any interpretation allowing interference in the operations of the Three Powers.
