Elon Musk’s X offices in Paris have been raided by French authorities who have now summoned him to appear for questioning amid a probe into his social media platform.
Cybercrime officers carried out Tuesday’s raid with assistance from Europol, ratcheting up a year-long investigation into the platform’s algorithm and the content being recommended to users.
The social media platform has been under investigation since January 2025, though it has expanded since then following allegations of Holocaust denial and sexually explicit deepfakes linked to Grok, X’s AI chatbot. The Paris prosecutor’s office has now asked Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to appear at a hearing in April.

odds on muski just refusing, and zero consequences come from this.
alternatively, a paltry slap on the wrist
If he doesn’t deal with this, Twitter will end up getting banned in France.
Sure. Id love to see it
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Fuck. Yeah.
Can we get this worldwide
Yes please. Theres better alternatives and even better ones could be made.
Yes yes yes that’d be perfect, at least EU-wide
Good
Let me dream of guillotines just once

Given the EU is pulling as much of their digital assets off of US severs, they may not take too kindly to Twitter this time around. Especially since Elon was found in the Epstein files and is budds with Trump.
You’d think the kiddie porn generating ai would be enough to ban it and sanction Musk.
Everywhere.
The second half makes it seem like there aren’t rich people in France. The only reason I’ll believe we don’t see more non-American/British/Israeli oligarchs in the Epstein files is because they had other islands closer to home.
Unless their islands are backed by a different or opposing power that doesn’t mind cutting Epstein system loose for public cred, I don’t expect the wealthy and politicians to do much.
Don’t confuse US consequences for EU consequences. It’s pretty well accepted that Americans receive more protections from companies as a result of EU legal cases than our own FTC and FCC.
I never believe these kinds of people suffer actual consequences until it’s actually happened and they run out of appeals. Or lifespan.

Oh gosh, what did I just witness?!
Holy fucking hell. I’ve never seen a more deranged list of objective falsehoods. How many different drugs are these people on?
Drugs don’t make you that way
Have you tried ketamine?
I used to live on ketamine and dxm
Are you offering?
Not drugs, electricity.
It’s so crazy, having not been on the platform for a while, how many bots are just spewing garbage.
That is musk’s personal feed
There were a lot of bots and toxicity long before he took over. I can’t imagine what it’s like now.
Wow
The amount of propaganda is unreal. If the roles were reversed, the USA had banned Xitter for foreign interference long ago.
Does he just spend all day on twitter? What a fucking deranged feed

If this isn’t fake, he switched to voting Republican when they started the Southern Strategy
It’s not, he’s a Republican Congressman.
I foresee elon’s buddy in crime to put tariffs on France in retaliation.
You mean more tariffs on Americans? Nobody in France is paying shit. Its you guys that pay the tariffs
I believe that commenter is in Canada so they’re not either.
Why does everyone assume everyone online is American?
Lol. I wonder if this will come to anything.
Him? With all that money. You’re dreaming.
good now burn it down please and ban X in France. Thank you.
I love this for musk
We’ll see if he shows up or if there will be any consequences after someone is paid off.
$10 (CLP) that this will end in a nothingburger in three weeks.
Now do raids, issue warrants for and arrest people from the Epstein files.
Arrest him. I don’t care on what grounds.
