Starlink, the satellite internet service provided by SpaceX, has done the unexpected in Brazil by denying people the right to access the social network X. This is because SpaceX has a tendency to prevent Starlink from operating in the country and, thus, shutting down the license. Starlink is another business by Elon Musk, who is famous for making risky business choices, and the social network X as well is owned by Musk. The background to this decision is the regulations that exist in the Brazilian government, and in this country, all ISPs should obey a set of rules in order to continue providing internet services.

Altogether, Starlink’s actions, including blocking access to social network X, are some of the ways through which it ensures that it observes these regulations in order to escape any penalties that would threaten its operations in Brazil. Starlink has been growing at an alarming rate in the country, with the company providing internet service to the people in the regions that have hitherto not had access to the internet. Many communities have been booked by this service, especially those that had no or little access to internet services. However, the decision to block X may not go down well with many people who still use both services.
Some professional conflicts arise due to the fact that Elon Musk owns both companies, thus his main duty is to act in the interest of both firms while at the same time tackling multiple regulatory challenges. When Musk sided with the continued functionality of Starlink in Brazil, he seemed to be thinking about the effects that reliable Internet service has on millions of people. For the time being, the clients who use the Starlink satellite broadband in Brazil will be able to have a stable internet connection while giving up the other Musk’s business.
