Elon Musk snubs French summons

The summons was originally issued in February as part of a wider investigation into whether X's algorithms were used to interfere in French politics.

Prosecutors in Paris say they have 'taken note of the absence' of the billionaire and other summoned executives.

The probe has recently expanded to include allegations of fraudulent data extraction and complicity in spreading illegal content.

This snub marks a deepening rift between Musk and European regulators over the enforcement of digital safety laws.
