In a recent social media clash, UFC fighter Paulo Costa took aim at Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo following Ruffalo’s comments about Elon Musk’s legal issues in Brazil. The controversy began when Brazil’s Supreme Court banned Musk’s social media platform, X, due to Musk’s refusal to appoint a legal representative in the country. This decision was driven by concerns over the spread of misinformation and far-right narratives on the platform.
Mark Ruffalo, known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, criticized Musk’s actions, accusing him of disrespecting Brazilian sovereignty and the judiciary. Ruffalo’s comments included a call for heavy taxation on Musk, whom he described as a “weird and entitled billionaire tech bro”.
