Supreme Court Declines Elon Musk's Appeal in Trump Social Media Case

The court's decision upholds a lower court's order preventing X, formerly Twitter, from notifying Trump about a warrant for his account data.

  • The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for rejecting X's appeal, and no justices dissented.
  • X argued the nondisclosure order violated the First Amendment and Trump's executive privilege rights.
  • The federal government maintained that X's claims lacked merit and that the case was moot as the investigation had concluded.
  • X was fined $350,000 for initially resisting the warrant before eventually complying and turning over limited data.
  • Elon Musk, who owns X and supports Trump, has expressed concerns about free speech implications in the case.
