The French offices of Elon Musk’s X have been raided by the Paris prosecutor’s cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.
The prosecutor’s office said the probe began in January 2025 when it started looking into content recommended by the social media platform’s algorithm, before being widened to include its controversial AI chatbot, Grok.
In a statement, it added that both Musk and former X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino had been summoned to appear at hearings in April.
