Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has decided to lift the blockages previously imposed on Starlink and X accounts. This follows the recent transfer of 18.35 million reais ($3.31 million) from their accounts to the national coffers.

The court stated on Friday that the decision to lift the blockages came after the transferred amount reached the total fines owed by X to Brazil. The fines were a result of an ongoing feud between billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who controls both X and Starlink, and Justice Moraes.

The court's action marks a significant development in the legal battles involving Musk and his companies in Brazil. ($1 = 5.5488 reais)
