"Brazil Supreme Court Justice Launches Probe into Elon Musk for Spreading Fake News"

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered an investigation into Elon Musk for alleged obstruction and intentional criminal instrumentalization of his social media company X as part of a probe into the dissemination of fake news and threats against Supreme Court justices. This comes after Musk publicly announced that X would cease to comply with the court's orders to block certain accounts, prompting the justice to warn of fines and legal consequences for disobeying court orders. The investigation is part of a broader effort to combat digital militias spreading fake news and threats in Brazil, with Musk's actions drawing criticism and calls for social media regulation from Brazilian authorities.
