Notably, India has the exact same law (the Brazilian one is probably based on it), and X complies with the Indian government.
Musk is also trying to get Starlink approved in India [0], and is on extremely thin ice after ghosting Modi (and Modi's alliance partner Chandrababu Naidu who's state was going to get the Tesla gigafactory) for Xi [1].
Now India's 2nd largest oligarch (Sunil Mittal) has majority ownership in Starlink's largest competitor in the Western world - Eutelsat OneWeb [2]. They also have majority stake in British Telecom now too [3].
Ford has also been given the red carpet for an EV-first play in India [4], along with Hyundai Kia's EV expansion in CBN's state.

In India, the Judiciary has primacy over legislative.
If the judiciary rules one way or the other, legislative need to either reach a supermajority, live with it, or litigate and re-litigate in the Supreme Court.
Which is why I point out that when FIRs under IT Rules are received, X complies.
Brazil has the same separation of powers, yet X clearly fights against the top of the Judiciary in Brazil, while complying with the lowest of the Judiciary (and even before it reaches court) in India.
