The case went to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court backed the judge's decision. Also, Brazil's Congress can remove the judge from the bench, and they have not.
Given that state of affairs, how do you claim the judge is breaking the law?
The judge itself is a supreme court justice. Yes, the Brazilian senate can remove the judge, but the current government backs the judge and give money to congress members to use in their constituency, in returns to get their vote on issues, and that includes to prevent the impeachment of the judge.
So yes, the judge is breaking the law, simply because there's nothing in the law that says, for example, that the punishment for something, is the suspension of their social network profile.
That would be analog for cutting the vocal cords of a person that commits an opinion crime. It would be wrong IF we have that in our laws, but we don't.
If someone commit a crime, you punish for the crime. If they commit again, you increase the punishment and so on. There's nothing that can be done to prevent someone on commiting an opinion crime.

In other words, the judge is not breaking the law.
What I think I'm hearing you say is you disagree with your checks-and-balances government's application of law, local attempts to change that law has failed for reasons, so now you support vigilantism in order to get around the law you believe was misapplied. And you support a foreign entity to enact that vigilantism on the populace's behalf?
Be careful. Brazil isn't recognized as being an authoritarian regime. You may support Musk is breaking this law, but you may not be very happy with what law(s) he decides to break next.
> In other words, the judge is not breaking the law.
This doesn't even make sense, the fact congress doesn't do it's job does not mean the judge is not breaking the law.
> What I think I'm hearing you say is you disagree with your checks-and-balances government's application of law, local attempts to change that law has failed for reasons, so now you support vigilantism in order to get around the law you believe was misapplied.
There are no applications of the law, they are just not doing their job period. And "vigilantism" is exactly what the judge is doing.
> Be careful. Brazil isn't recognized as being an authoritarian regime.
It just takes one 10 minutes to learn that Brazilian has an authoritarian justice system.
If the Supreme Court says the decision is in accordance with law - and they're the ones with the legal authority to make that assessment, and the Congress has done nothing to reprimand the Supreme Court and overrule their assessment, then the judge's decision, by definition, is in accordance with law.
The problem as I see it is you disagree with that assessment.
People disagree in democracies, it's a defining feature. There are good reasons to disagree with the judge's decision and its legality. That doesn't change the fact that the people having the power vested in them by the state think otherwise and are supporting the decision.
Appealing to a vigilante like Musk to settle your internal disagreements is not a wise move, my friend.

That's completely false and not how the law works in Brazil.
> The problem as I see it is you disagree with that assessment.
Because it's just plain false.

Nobody is appealing for Musk, he's just one, of several people affected by that and reacting.
He's not breaking the law, the judge is. There are no laws in Brazil that back his decisions.
