Feud Escalates Between Brazil's First Lady and Elon Musk Over Hacked X Account
Rosangela da Silva accuses Musk of minimizing the impact of the breach, which she says affects thousands of women daily on the platform.
- Brazil's First Lady, Rosangela da Silva, known as Janja, is in a public dispute with Elon Musk over the recent hacking of her account on the social media platform X, which Musk owns.
- The hacking incident, which occurred on December 11, involved the posting of lewd images and insults directed at Brazil's president on Janja's profile, which has 1.2 million followers.
- Janja has criticized Musk for downplaying the incident and brushing off responsibility for the breach, accusing him of minimizing a serious event that affects thousands of women on his platform every day.
- Earlier this week, Janja threatened to sue the company, claiming that it was too slow to respond to requests to freeze the account, take down the posts, and help her regain access.
- Musk responded by stating that his company bore no blame, arguing that it is not clear how someone guessing her email password is the company's responsibility.
