spacex has begun evacuating employees in brazil and warned others not to travel to the country, according to a report by the wall street journal on september 5, 2019. the move suggests that elon musk's ongoing battle with brazil's supreme court over social media company x has affected some of his other businesses.

late last week, spacex president gwynne shotwell advised employees in an email not to travel to brazil for work or pleasure, according to people familiar with the matter.spacex also took steps last week to remove its small non-brazilian workforce in brazil from the country, people familiar with the matter said.

in recent months, musk has been fighting with brazilian supreme court judge alexandre de moraes, who ordered x to delete some accounts because they spread hate speech and false information on x. in august this year, x closed its operations in brazil, citing the need to protect the safety of its employees. in addition, moraes also froze the bank accounts of spacex's starlink and prohibited it from conducting financial transactions in brazil.

as of press time, spacex has not yet commented on this. (author/xiao yu)
