The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Elon Musk's X Corp.’s appeal over a search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Twitter messages, obtained by special counsel Jack Smith. X challenged a gag order preventing disclosure of the warrant but not the warrant itself. The company argued that the nondisclosure was an overreach, potentially undermining executive privilege. The court decided without comment, leaving the lower court rulings intact. The search is part of Smith's investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Musk has endorsed Trump for reelection.
