French prosecutors summon Elon Musk to Paris over allegations of child abuse material and deepfakes on X
French prosecutors have summoned Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino to Paris for voluntary interviews as part of an investigation opened in January 2025 by the cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor's office. The investigation covers alleged complicity in spreading child sexual abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes, Holocaust denial, and manipulation of automated data processing systems. It remains unclear whether Musk or Yaccarino will travel to Paris.
