Judge says Twitter has to appoint new legal representation. Elon says nope.

It's even funnier: since Elon had no legal representation, they couldn't serve him. So they did it by tweeting the notice. Elon replied to it, which serves as legal evidence he got the notice. All he had to do was ignore it, and he'd get some leeway in this case. Instead, he joked about it, and caused the case to move on to Twitter getting blocked.

I loved this part, everybody debating on Twitter itself whether or not he had been legally served and then he tweets about it... Everybody just goes "welp, moot point now I guess"

The Brazilian Civil Procedure Law follows the principle of "pas de nullité sans grief," which requires that prejudice be demonstrated in the case of a procedural error. If the party served with the summons can clearly show that they received it, this serves as conclusive evidence that there was no harm to their defense.

So, Elon really ended the debate when he showed that he knew about the court document. 🤦‍♂️

How do you know Elon is the only one with access to his account?
