Elon Musk's net worth suffered a significant drop this Thursday (5), with a reduction of US$ 26.6 billion, equivalent to R$ 148.8 billion, according to the most recent survey by Forbes magazine. The fall occurred mainly after shares of Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer led by Musk, fell 14% on the financial market. Despite the billion-dollar loss, Musk remains at the top of the list of the richest people on the planet, still accumulating a fortune estimated at US$ 387.9 billion (around R$ 2.17 trillion). He remains comfortably ahead of the second-placed Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, who has a net worth of US$ 236.3 billion (R$ 1.32 trillion). The devaluation movement took place against the backdrop of public tension between Musk and former US President Donald Trump. In strong statements on Thursday, Trump threatened to end subsidies and government contracts signed with companies owned by the South African billionaire. Musk's response was equally explosive.

According to the CNDH, these initiatives would be unacceptable, since they would constitute undue interference in Brazil's internal affairs. The entity argued that such an attitude compromises the principles governing diplomatic relations, especially since this involves an authority from Brazil's highest constitutional court. In a statement, the council emphasized that this political move has no precedent in the modern history of international relations between democracies.
Rubio's statements came in response to a question from Republican Senator Cory Lee Mills, who referred to alleged judicial persecution in Brazil against supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, within the context of the acts of January 8, 2023. The CNDH, however, understands that this narrative is an attempt at manipulation, with the aim of delegitimizing the accountability of those involved in the attempted coup.
For the council, this attempted interference by the US is, in fact, an effort by figures investigated by the STF to obtain international political protection and avoid legal sanctions in Brazil. The organization reinforced that the judicial process in the country is being conducted based on the Constitution and laws, in a transparent manner and in respect of the Democratic Rule of Law.
In addition, the CNDH requested that the US government immediately stop any study aimed at imposing measures against Alexandre de Moraes, defending mutual respect between nations and their institutions.
At the same time, the Supreme Court Justice authorized, at the request of the Attorney General's Office (PGR), the opening of an investigation into federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is on leave. The congressman is suspected of working with US authorities to pressure the US government to impose sanctions against Moraes, which could constitute crimes such as coercion during the proceedings and obstruction of the investigation.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, who has been in the United States since March, denies any wrongdoing and has called the investigation unfair. The Justice also requested the testimony of former President Jair Bolsonaro, pointing out possible direct favoritism due to his son's actions. Brazilian diplomats are also expected to be heard in the case.
The accusation of attempted coup d'état, made by the PGR, claims that there was a plan to annul the 2022 elections, with plans to assassinate authorities and military support for a possible State of Siege. Those involved deny participation in the plot.
