Elon Musk's X/Twitter
Elon Musk backs off in Brazil – pays fees

Elon Musk's X has bowed to the demands of Brazil's Supreme Court, The Guardian reports.

Among other things, the company has appointed a legal representative, paid outstanding fees and deleted the accounts that the court believes posed a threat to Brazilian democracy.

X lawyers now hope that the court will respond by lifting the blocking of the service in the country.

Elon Musk has been at odds with the Brazilian court since April, when X was ordered to close over a hundred accounts that questioned whether Jair Bolsonaro really lost the 2022 election. Among other things, Musk has called Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes an "evil tyrant" and compared him to Lord Voldemort from "Harry Potter."

Swedish aid
Red Cross: Act now – not when the crisis is here

Sweden must work more to prevent crises and not act only when they have occurred, writes Red Cross Secretary General Ulrika Modéer on DN's debate page.

She believes that Sweden's ability to handle unexpected events has generally improved, but that more needs to be done in the preventive work both in Sweden and internationally. She points out that we live in a troubled world with wars and climate-related disasters, and that the warnings have been heard for a long time.

The Red Cross proposes, among other things, investments in climate preparedness and that the structure of aid changes, so that preventive measures are combined with life-saving activities.

"Overall, we cannot face today's threats after the disaster happened. The money is simply not enough.”

Explosively loaded ship
Coast Guard: We had followed Ruby regardless of cargo

It is the condition and not the explosive cargo that makes Swedish authorities follow the damaged Russian ship MV Ruby, which on Saturday evening is in international waters between Denmark and Norway.

- Regardless of whether it had been ammonium nitrate, wood, or some other cargo, the ship would have been very interesting, says Coast Guard spokesperson Mattias Lindholm to SVT Nyheter Väst.

He downplays the risk of accidents and says that "some form of serious external influence" would be needed for the explosive cargo to pose a danger during the journey past Sweden.
