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.

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.

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.

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

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

Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus on 03 Feb 21:16 next collapse

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

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
