That's why I specified that this clearly shows incompetence somewhere—either the US entity made the call without listening to anyone in Brazil or the people in Brazil didn't adequately clarify the situation. Either way, it sure looks like the US leadership (probably mostly Musk) misjudged the situation by projecting US law and values onto the Brazilian system, which is a mistake they would never make with Turkey.

This happens almost by rule when US companies operate outside of the US, this is not some exception to this rule, so hardly surprising that it also happened here.

I'm not sure sure it's "incompetence" as much as just a cultural difference.
