The Supreme Court has told Elon Musk to buzz off.
The Supreme Court refused Monday to hear an appeal from Elon Musk’s X Corp. on the company’s claim that special counsel Jack Smith took an unlawful deep dive into Donald Trump’s social media account without notifying the former president.
X Corp. begged the Supreme Court in July to determine under what circumstances a tech company can be compelled to turn over information on its users, while being prevented from alerting those users that they’re being investigated.

When X Corp. challenged the order, it was found in contempt and fined $350,000. Prosecutors argued that notifying Trump of the search would endanger the evidence.

I don’t necessarily think this is a boon. I mean this time is against people i hate, and that’s cool. Just as long as the government can be trusted not to abuse their power.
This was my takeaway as well. They’re not agreeing with Smith for any reason other than this nets them more discretionary power.
