French police raid X’s Paris offices, summon Elon Musk over platform abuse allegations
Elon Musk, head of X, and former CEO Linda Yaccarino have been called in for voluntary hearings by the Paris prosecutor’s office on April 20, as a search is conducted at the platform’s French headquarters, Le Parisien reported Tuesday.
The probe, which began in early 2025 after lawmakers raised concerns over alleged algorithmic bias, has expanded to include accusations such as complicity in child sexual abuse material, sexual deepfake content, and denialism.
Prosecutors describe the process as constructive, aimed at bringing X into compliance with French law, with support from Europol and national cybercrime authorities.
Multiple X employees are also scheduled to testify, the report said.
