Brazil’s top court has announced it will lift the freeze of the bank accounts of Starlink and X Corp. after the transfer of $3.31 million in fines that were imposed on the Elon Musk-controlled entities.

According to a statement issued by Brazil’s Supreme Court on Sept. 13, Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the bank accounts unfrozen because the amount paid to Brazil reached the total that X owed the country in fines.
