X Corp., formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Elon Musk, is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision that allowed special counsel Jack Smith to access direct messages from Donald Trump's account without notifying him. Last year, federal judges in a DC court compelled X to provide Trump's data to Smith as part of the investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot. X Corp. argues that this action represents an 'unprecedented end-run around executive privilege' and seeks to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The company is asking the justices to consider whether social media services can be forced to share user data with government investigators without prior notification to the user.
