It sounds like Musk didn't like the secrecy and lack of due process around it (not sure how accurate this is, but that's what he says).[0]

This is not a moralistic position. Brazil always has been a big market for Twitter and there were always significant resources invested by the company for legal compliance. This included dedicated cross functional teams. These teams no longer exist, since the owner thinks 90% of the people in the company were useless. Now they simply don’t have the ability to stay compliant and therefore run into the risk of being fined. They’re minimizing that risk.
Perhaps but that's just speculation and not supported by evidence.
That’s true, but there are some publicly available facts like Brazil’s content moderation team no longer exists.

And the policy team:

We could all pretend that you’d be able to deal with operating in hundreds of countries with a bare bones team, or we could speculate that it’s hard & opens you up to many legal problems.

They could implement those teams again if they wanted to. It appears they don't want to do that.
It appears the solution is to fire people until the problem goes away. Musk’s favorite leadership strategy.

Do you work at X? I'm sure you wouldn't be speaking in such confident terms if you didn't have some inside knowledge. Are you meeting with Elon to discuss these things?
It doesn't sound like Musk did anything of value here. He just complies with dictators and fights democracies because dictators let him run wild while democratic countries will soon put him in jail for market manipulation, money laundering, fraud, labor law violations, environment pollution, and the rest.
You people really need to broaden your views about this guy.
