A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Friday ordered the suspension of Elon Musk’s social media giant X in Brazil after the tech billionaire refused to name a legal representative in the country, according to a copy of the decision seen by the Associated Press.

The move further escalates the months-long feud between the two men over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation.
