French prosecutors have searched the offices of Elon Musk’s social media platform X as part of an investigation into alleged offences, including spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. The investigation began in January last year and involves the prosecutors’ cybercrime unit. Prosecutors are looking into alleged complicity in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, among other charges. They have asked Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to attend voluntary interviews on April 20. Employees of X have also been summoned as witnesses. Europol is supporting the French authorities in this investigation.
