Elon Musk Summoned to Paris

Elon Musk Summoned to Paris

The probe, led by the cybercrime division of the Paris prosecutor's office, is also looking into suspected algorithmic manipulation and fraudulent data extraction.

Musk did not appear for a voluntary interview on Monday, leading prosecutors to formally note his absence.

The investigation was triggered by a French lawmaker's allegations that X's AI chatbot, Grok, was being used to disseminate harmful content.

This legal challenge adds to the growing tension between U.S. tech giants and European regulators over free speech and platform safety.
