Brazil’s Top Court Justices To Vote on Elon Musk’s X Ban

A five-member panel of Brazil's Supreme Court will vote on Monday on whether to uphold Justice Alexandre de Moraes' ruling to shut down social media platform X in the country.

Moraes, whom X owner Elon Musk has labelled a "dictator," has called a virtual session of the court's first chamber - of which he is a member - so peers can review his decision.

Brazil's Supreme Court has 11 justices split between two chambers of five members each, not including the chief justice. They can vote to maintain or reject decisions by a single judge.
