Elon Musk, who rebranded Twitter as X, mistakenly called the platform by its old name in a post after Brazil banned it. Sharing a meme that referenced VPN companies benefiting from the ban, Musk's use of "Twitter" caught the attention of users, leading to jokes about the rebranding.
Brazil's Supreme Court banned X due to non-compliance with court orders and spreading disinformation. Musk called the judge responsible an "evil dictator" and accused him of attacking democracy. X has over 22 million users in Brazil, with penalties imposed for bypassing the ban using VPNs.
