Elon Musk has been summoned for a voluntary interview in Paris as part of a French investigation into his social media platform X. The probe, initiated in January 2025, examines allegations that X's algorithm interfered in French politics and includes scrutiny of Grok's dissemination of Holocaust denials and sexual deepfakes. French prosecutors previously searched X's Paris offices, which the company condemned as politically motivated. The investigation also involves potential criminal offenses, including complicity in possessing child sexual abuse material and denial of crimes against humanity.
