BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes on Thursday ordered the blocking of the financial accounts of billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink due to the lack of legal representatives in the country for social media platform X, a Supreme Court source told Reuters.

Moraes and Musk have been in a public feud for months, after X failed to comply with legal orders to block certain accounts accused of spreading "fake news" and hate messages.
