No, it doesn't make sense. The reason they had to pull out of the country is that representatives of X were about to be thrown in jail for an American business not honoring censorship edicts written by this judge. Why not Meta or Google? Because they've honored the censorship orders.
When he couldn't find representatives of X, he went after SpaceX and StarLink, even though no law allows him to do so. The judge is simply on a personal vendetta against Elon Musk solely on the basis of political alignment.
This isn't baffling, this is leftist totalitarianism at work.
I was also baffled by them going after Starlink when it happened. Just like you, I found it absurd to go over a different company just because some person owns stakes on both of them.
Then, Starlink refused to block Twitter, and with that they kind of proved the Supreme Court's point that they operate under the same economic organization and are subject to the same leadership.
Not to being too much politics into the discussion, but Mr. Morais is hardly a leftist. In fact, he's been put there by the very president that removed Mrs. Dilma Rouseff, Michel Temer, who is quite obviously on the right side of the spectrum.
