For example, in March 2021, the National Labor Relations Board (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/tesla-elon-musk-anti-union-tweet-must-be-deleted-nlrb.html) ordered Tesla to have Musk delete a social media post that it saw as a threat to union organizers. As of Monday, the tweet (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/998454539941367808?lang=en) remains posted on the site.


You have to obey the laws and regulatory rules of the country you operate in. That's just basic national sovereignty. Musk did not comply with the NLRB's lawful directive to delete a post on Twitter. Instead he bought Twitter! Disobeying, and flaunting the disobdiance of, lawful governmental orders is exactly what got X banned in Brazil.

The same should happen in the U.S.
