Mr. Musk has had a big effect on Brazilian politics.
After Mr. Bolsonaro’s 2022 election loss, his far-right political movement had been sputtering. He had been ruled ineligible to run in the next election and was under investigation in several cases that could lead to prison time. He and his supporters were struggling to find a voice.
Then Mr. Musk arrived with a torrent of posts harshly criticizing Mr. Moraes. Over 17 days in April, Mr. Musk posted about Mr. Moraes more than two dozen times, calling the judge a dictator and comparing him to Darth Vader. Brazilian magazines and newspapers put Mr. Musk and Mr. Moraes on their covers, and the issue was debated in Brazil’s Congress.
