The First Lady of Brazil, Janja Lula da Silva, did not hold back her language while commenting on the actions of billionaire Elon Musk during a social event for the G20, where she discussed the need for regulating social media to combat misinformation.
This was reported by Reuters.
As she was speaking, a ship's horn sounded, and she joked, "I think that's Elon Musk," before adding, "I'm not afraid of you, fuck you, Elon Musk."
Musk, the owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), responded to a video of her remarks by posting an image of a laughing emoji.
In a subsequent post, he added: "They are going to lose the next election," referring to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The president's wife spoke at the event ahead of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, which is set to take place on November 18-19.
This year, X was suspended in Brazil for a month because Elon Musk refused to appoint an official representative in the country and ignored a court ruling to block accounts accused of spreading fake news and hate speech.
Background. It is worth noting that X was ultimately blocked in Brazil following a conflict between the authorities and Elon Musk. The company ceased its operations, closed its office in the country, and stated that it would not comply with censorship.
