In the initial election on October 2, neither Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro nor leftist Luiz Inacio da Silva, who served as president of Brazil from 2003-2010, could gain more than half of the valid votes, precipitating a run-off election, which ended with Lula receiving 50.90% of the votes to Bolsonaro\u2019s 49.10%, the closest presidential election in Brazil\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter Brazil launched in November ahref=&#8221;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/nov\/07\/twitter-brazil-elon-musk-far-right-suspended-accounts-edited-&#8220;>suspended These profiles<\/a> Three right-wing politicians were mentioned, prompting one user to ask Musk \u201cHey @elonmusk, your company has been imposing a draconian ideological censorship of the Brazilian people\u2019s right to free speech.
