• French prosecutors have opened a formal criminal investigation into Elon Musk and X over sexual images of minors and other illegal content.
  • Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino failed to appear for an earlier voluntary interview in April.
  • The investigation also includes Grok’s dissemination of Holocaust denial and sexually explicit deepfakes.
  • If Musk and Yaccarino do not comply with the new summons, they may be charged in absentia.
  • X called the investigation politicized, and the US Justice Department refused to assist French authorities.
