Elon Musk summoned in French probe

Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino have been requested to appear before French authorities as part of a widening investigation into the social media platform's content moderation.

The probe, led by the Paris prosecutor's cybercrime unit, follows a February search of X's French offices.

Investigators are examining potential complicity in the possession and distribution of pornographic images of minors.

This legal challenge adds to the growing friction between the European Union and US-based tech giants over free speech and digital safety regulations.
