French prosecutors raid X offices and summon Elon Musk over child abuse images and deepfakes

French prosecutors raided X's Paris offices on February 3, 2026, as part of an investigation opened in January 2025 over algorithm manipulation complaints. The probe expanded to include Grok AI's generation of Holocaust denials and sexual deepfakes, including child abuse images. Prosecutors summoned Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to testify on April 20. Musk called the raid a "political attack." The EU fined X $140 million in December 2025 under the Digital Services Act for its deceptive blue check system.
