- French prosecutors launched a criminal investigation targeting Elon Musk, Linda Yaccarino, X Corp., and xAI regarding alleged illegal content on X.
- The probe focuses on sexual images of minors, Holocaust-denial claims disseminated by Grok, and sexually explicit deepfakes.
- Musk and Yaccarino did not appear for voluntary questioning in April; authorities now seek to compel their appearance with threats of criminal charges.
- X has reportedly refused to comply with a court order to hand over its algorithm, contributing to the escalation of the investigation.
