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

Paris prosecutors from the cybercrime unit OFMIN raided X's Paris offices on February 3, 2026, as part of an investigation opened in January 2025 into alleged complicity in distributing child sexual abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes, and Holocaust denial content. Prosecutors summoned Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino for voluntary interviews on April 20 and called X employees as witnesses. The investigation expanded after X's AI chatbot Grok generated deepfake and Holocaust denial content. X called the raid "law enforcement theater."
