On Wednesday, Musk rejected any responsibility for the recent invasion of the account of the Brazilian first lady, Rosângela “Janja” Lula da Silva, who in turn accused the tycoon of trying to “downplay” the incident. Janja’s X account (formerly Twitter) was “hacked” on December 11, with insults and “sexist” messages, as she reported.
The 57-year-old sociologist said Tuesday that she intends to “prosecute” the company and hold it accountable for reacting slowly, taking part in President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s weekly live broadcast.
Musk responded this Wednesday to a news story about Janja’s reaction: “It’s unclear why someone guessing your password is our responsibility,” he wrote on the platform he has controlled since 2022.
The businessman referred to a Federal Police investigation that led to the arrest of the alleged “hacker”: a 17-year-old boy from Brasilia who, according to local media based on police reports, said of having obtained the rights of the first lady given on the Internet.
According to Janja this is not due to a “fortune teller”, as Musk pointed out, but rather to the lack of data protection on the social network, he wrote in a press release issued after the tycoon’s post.
