Today, tech centibillionaire Elon Musk published a tweet with a picture generated by the AI chatbot produced by his xAI start-up to mock and attack the judge of the Brazilian Supreme who gave Musk an ultimatum to comply with in only 24 hours.
Musk took a dig at the Brazilian judge who threatened to ban the X social media platform from the country. The Tesla CEO’s tweet provoked the excitement of the crypto community, particularly the DOGE community. A Dogecoin cofounder supported Elon Musk in his criticism against the potential X ban in Brazil and the court that threatens to execute it.

In his tweet, Elon Musk said that he tasked Grok with the following assignment: “Generate an image as if Voldemort and a Sith Lord had a baby and he became a judge in Brazil.”
The tech mogul then shared the AI-generated image with his hundreds of millions of followers on X.

Many X users posted Star Wars and Harry Potter-themed images generated by Grok in response. Numerous Dogecoin-themed accounts also responded. Those included cofounder of Dogecoin Billy Markus, who is known on X as Shibetoshi Nakamoto.
This is how he replied to his pen pal Elon Musk: “You’ll need to send harry skywalker as your brazil representative.”

Elon Musk and X vs. Brazilian court
Elon Musk was given 24 hours by the Brazilian Supreme Court to appoint a local representative for his X giant or face the permanent ban of his company in the country. Earlier this year, X was accused of hosting accounts that spread misinformation in Brazil. Earlier in August, Musk announced that he was forced to shut down the office of X in the country to ensure their staff are protected.
Later on, Billy Markus also commented on that news in a separate tweet, again agreeing with Elon Musk and offering his support.
