Elon Musk caused some controversy when he posted a Grok-generated image on X’s social media platform. The image aims at a Brazilian Supreme Court judge threatening to ban X in Brazil and ordering Musk to shape up what he was doing within 24 hours. The inflammating tweet of Elon Musk, where he compared the judge to a legal fiction resulting from crossing Voldemort, a famed bigoted wizard antagonist from Harry Potter books, with a Sith Lord, an evil villain from the Star Wars film series, caused Twitter reactions.

Not only did the post explain Musk’s continued conflict with the Brazilian judiciary, but the update was also well received by the crypto audience, especially members of the Dogecoin community. Out of the many who commented on Musk’s tweet was Billy Markus, who is the co-founder of Dogecoin and goes by the name Shibetoshi Nakamoto on X. As a joke, he noted that Musk should hire a fictional character known as ‘Harry Skywalker’ as his representative from Brazil. This response aligns with Musk’s approval in the Dogecoin community, which appreciates his non-seriousness and ability to turn the most severe issues into jokes.
The Dogecoin community shifts its support to Musk
The Grok-generated image and Musk’s consequent tweet have incited similar replies on X, which some of the users evolved into Star Wars and Harry Potter images/symbols. This trend shows Musk can control his vast audience, especially in the crypto niche. The Dogecoin community has always been very supportive of Musk and immediately came forward to support him in this fight against Brazilian authorities. The conversation that takes between Musk and Markus also shows particular intimacy that is binding Musk with the Dogecoin community, more so when faced with such a schedule from the traditional market.

The conflict between Musk’s X platform and the Brazilian Supreme Court is still intensifying towards the given 24-hour deadline. Back in February, several concerns with the platform were raised that X allowed accounts that spread misinformation in Brazil. In response, Musk closed down the X office in the country to avoid putting his employees in a risky situation. X is currently facing the possibility of a permanent ban, and it is with such an ultimatum that Musk has returned to his trailblazing tactics and aggressive use of social media platforms.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Elon Musk’s Grok-generated graphic ridiculing a Brazilian Supreme Court judge sparked outrage while also galvanising his admirers, notably in the Dogecoin community. As the Brazilian judiciary’s deadline approaches, the conclusion of this stalemate remains unknown, with X’s future in Brazil on the line.
