Tech billionaire Elon Musk has agreed to appoint a legal representative in Brazil following a Supreme Court order in August. However, Judge Alexandre de Moraes has requested more proof of the lawyer’s power of attorney.

The Supreme Court of Brazil on Saturday made further requests of documentation from X owner Elon Musk.

The social media platform was shut down in the South American country in August for failing to comply with an order to name a new legal representative for the company in Brazil by a certain date.

Despite initially speaking out against the ruling, tech billionaire Musk seemingly relented to the order, saying the company had appointed a lawyer.

However, Federal Judge Alexandre de Moraes demanded further documents and gave X a five-day deadline to provide documentation on the appointment of attorney Rachel Conceicao as the legal representative of X within Brazil.
