First lady Rosângela da Silva, said this Saturday (16) that she is not afraid of Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), and used an expression in English to attack him.
“Fuck you, Elon Musk”, said Janja, in an expression equivalent to “go fuck yourself”, when referring to the businessman who will take up a position in the government of the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump.
The statement was given during Cria G20, a Social panel, organized by the government () to create a bridge between topics addressed by the group and civil society.
Janja was speaking about combating misinformation and regulating platforms when there was interference in his speech.
Jokingly, she said: “I think it’s Elon Musk.” He then added: “I’m not afraid of you. Even fuck you, Elon Musk.”
The panel in which the first speaker gave a speech was attended by the influencer, Felipe Neto. In her speech, which was impromptu (she was in the audience), she said that the panel was one of the most relevant at the international meeting.
“We talked about the regulation of social networks, of platforms. I’ve always said that it’s not a local issue, if we don’t have this discussion globally, we won’t be able to win. There’s no point in having laws in Brazil — and it’s difficult to happen, we know all the obstacles there are — if we don’t discuss this issue globally”, he said.
“It is discussed at the United Nations, but we know that the new global governance also needs to look at this. Because there is no point in doing this, and the United States arrives and [dizerem] ‘we won’t do it’. (…) It is no longer possible for us to live in this digital world of disinformation”, he stated.
The United States, now under Trump’s command, will have Musk as head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, along with what was done last Tuesday (12).
The Department of Government Efficiency is a body that will be created by Trump and will have the acronym DOGE,
It is not clear what the role of the new department will be within the American government — whether it will actually have power, or whether it will only exist to analyze and propose the cuts announced by Trump to other departments. In the statement, the president-elect suggested that the department will work “outside the government”, but did not go into details.
The first lady, who received applause from the audience, had her X account hacked at the end of last year by someone who started publishing insults against her, as well as mentioning the scandal and the minister of the (Supreme Federal Court).
Palácio do Planalto reported at the time that it activated the platform and . On X, the president’s wife has 1.2 million followers. The invasion took place around 9:30 pm and, at 10:35 pm, the PF reported that, at the corporation’s request, the X platform had blocked the hacker’s access to Janja’s profile. Minutes later, the first lady’s profile posts were deleted.
At the time, the first lady said at the time that sexist and criminal posts were made, “typical of those who despise women, coexistence in society, democracy and the law.”
