 Not exactly true. 
Elon paid two weeks ago. However the Brazilian Supreme Court prolonged the ban in order to try to help left wing parties during the municipal elections. But it was a landslide against the left. 
And then they saw it was useless and finally lifted it. 


Elon paid probably because he bent before Trump. 
If Trump gets elected, he’s going to get everything back, with interest. 

There’s a tug of war between Elon and part of the Republican Party and Brazilian Supreme Court (supported partially by US Democrats)…

It’s complicated…
