Elon Musk vs Brazil’s First Lady: Unexpected Outburst at G20
Brazil’s First Lady, Janja Lula da Silva, made headlines during a G20 event addressing misinformation, where she publicly criticized Elon Musk.
Referring to a technical disruption during her speech, she joked that Musk was responsible. She then boldly declared, “I’m not afraid of you,” followed by using an expletive directed at him.
This comment was reportedly aimed at Musk’s handling of misinformation on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
Musk responded casually on X, using emojis and a dismissive “LOL,” while also predicting political consequences for her husband’s administration.
The incident sparked mixed reactions, with some seeing it as a bold stance against misinformation, while others, including opposition figures in Brazil, criticized it as diplomatically inappropriate.
