A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has opened a probe into Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for obstruction of justice after he challenged a court order requiring the removal of certain X accounts.

In his decision on April 7, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said Mr. Musk will be probed for alleged obstruction of justice, criminal organization, and incitement, according to multiple reports.
