Opposition congressmen criticized the first lady for swearing at Elon Musk during a side event at the G20
The senator (Republicanos-DF) made one on social media comparing the former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro with the current one, Rosângela da Silva, after Janja had sent the owner of X (former Twitter), Elon Musk, “fuck off” during a side event to the G20 on Saturday (16.Nov.2024). “I miss Brazil!”said Alves.
The deputy also spoke about the “proud we were” from Michelle and wrote: “But wait, 2026 is right there!” in reference to an alleged attempt to elect the former president (PL). He, however, is ineligible.
After the episode involving Musk, senator Marcos Rogério (PL-RO) also did the same between the two. “There was a time when we were proud of our representation abroad […] Today, it’s one shame after another!”these.
During Cria G20, a hub of content producers that is part of the Summit’s parallel programming, Janja said he is not afraid of the South African billionaire, and sent Musk “fuck off”in English.
“I’m not afraid of you. Including, fuck you, Elon Musk”he declared. Afterwards, Janja is applauded and screams can be heard in the audience. She was talking about regulating social media and combating misinformation.
The first lady’s speech quickly went viral on social media and several opposition congressmen began to criticize her. In response to Janja, Musk shared the video of the statement with the description “LOL”, English acronym for “laughing out loud” (laughing very loudly, in free translation), and stated “they will lose the next election”.
The billionaire was recently chosen to form the government of the president-elect of the United States, Donal Trump. He will head the new “Department of Government Efficiency”, known by the acronym “DOG”. Musk will work alongside businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Despite having repercussions among the opposition, so did Janja’s speeches. Members assess that the episode embarrasses President Lula’s administration and makes it difficult for Brazil to get closer to the United States in a new political context.
Ministers heard by Poder360 They said in private that Janja raised the ball for the right to cut by causing an unnecessary controversy. They also question whether even the “bubble” on the left that is most sympathetic to her had “amusement” with the insults. Due to her strong influence on Lula, no member of the government accepts publicly criticizing the first lady.
