Brazil's supreme court announced that it ordered funds be moved from Starlink and X bank accounts to pay for fines levied against Elon Musk's social network.

Brazil’s supreme court said Friday that it ordered funds to be moved from Starlink and X bank accounts to pay fines levied against Elon Musk’s social media venture.
