One airstrip owned by the Brazilian government served as the only way for health care officials to reach the Indigenous people nearby. But illegal miners have seized it and built four other illegal airstrips in the area, propelling crime so out of control that government workers are too scared to return. Such activity has thrived under President Jair Bolsonaro, who has faced global criticism for allowing the Amazon to be pillaged. On top of accelerating the rainforest’s destruction, officials say the industry’s rapid spread could harm millions of people whose livelihoods rely on the Amazon’s rivers.

Musk has argued that the company’s public disclosures about bots and fake accounts are materially misleading, giving him grounds to walk away from the deal. Twitter may be trying to discern how much the banks actually care about bots, and whether Musk has been prodding them to care. The company cannot sue Musk to force him to close the deal if his debt financing falls apart, but that way out for Musk works only if the banks walk away independently — not if he coerces them.
