Elon musk who is the owner of Twitter -- an individual -- actually has a fundamental right to speak to Brazilians via his service.

Companies absolutely have rights especially when they're owned by an individual. Banding together in groups does not eliminate human rights.

Elon Musk is not a Brazilian citizen, nor he his a resident of Brazil, not holds any permission to stay in the country as of now.

He has, in fact, zero rights to communicate in Brazil.

That's the entire purpose of freedom of speech: to be able to use the commons to speak.
