The first lady of Brazil, Rosângela ‘Janja’ da Silva, rounded up a billionaire from South Africa Elon Musk at the event preceding the G20 summit, and the owner of social network X, who also responded to her through the platform. The wife of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, during one of the G20 Social events, stated the need for regulation of social networks. After she made a noise resembling the sound of a ship horn, and stood in a protective pose, attributing it to her future US minister, she stood up and said: "I think it’s Elon Musk," and then added: "I’m not afraid of you... Go to hell, Elon Musk!" Upon hearing this, Musk published a video with comment from the first lady and responded to her: "They will lose the next elections," alluding to presidential elections in Brazil, which will take place in 2026. The social network X was blocked in Brazil this year for more than a month after its owner was ordered by the Supreme Court to take down profiles used for spreading fake news and anti-democratic messages. At that time, Lula supported the court's decision and stated that no one, no matter how wealthy they may be, can violate Brazilian laws, which further strained relations with the platform's owner. The Brazilian government is keenly observing how its relationship with the future US administration under President Donald Trump, who promised a policy of production protectionism and a departure from progressivism, will develop. Musk, who was one of the main sponsors and financiers of the Trump campaign, was invited by the elected president to take a position in the Ministry of Effectiveness when the new government takes office in January.
