"Brazilian Supreme Court Launches Inquiry into Elon Musk's Dispute Over X"

Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has opened an inquiry into Elon Musk over possible obstruction of justice and his defiance of court orders to restrict or suspend certain accounts on X (formerly Twitter). Musk's actions have escalated a dispute over misinformation, with the tech billionaire making unsupported claims against the judge and threatening to publish information that would paint Moraes as a traitor. The investigation is part of a broader inquiry into "digital militias" spreading misinformation to attack democratic institutions in Brazil. The conflict comes amid a divisive municipal election year in Brazil, with Musk's vocal opposition to Moraes drawing attention in the country.
