Paris Cybercrime Unit Searches X Office
French police raided the offices of Elon Musk's social media network X on Tuesday and prosecutors ordered the tech billionaire to face questions in a widening investigation, amid growing scrutiny of the platform by authorities across Europe.
The raid by the Paris prosecutor's cybercrime unit and Musk's summoning - which could further increase tensions between Europe and the U.S. over Big Tech and free speech - are linked to a year-long investigation into suspected abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction by X or its executives.
Britain's privacy watchdog, meanwhile, also kicked off a formal investigation into Musk's artificial-intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok over the processing of personal data and its potential to produce harmful sexualized images and video content.
