It was given out in secret and also without managing Starlink any of the justice of rule guaranteed by the Constitution of Brazil. Our company want to take care of the matter legitimately, Starlink said in its statement.Musk replied to people discussing the documents of the freeze, including put-downs guided at de Moraes. This individual @Alexandre is an outright crook of the worst kind, masquerading as a court, he composed.Musk later on published on X that SpaceX, which runs Starlink, will give free internet service in South america until the concern is actually dealt with because our company can easily not receive remittance, but don't want to cut any person off.In his choice, de Moraes claimed he ordered the icy of Starlink's resources, as X failed to have adequate loan in its own profiles to cover mounting greats, and thinking that both companies belong to the same financial group.( Only the title and photo of this document might possess been modified by the Business Specification personnel the remainder of the web content is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.).
