Elon Musk summoned by French prosecutors

Investigators are also examining the role of X's AI chatbot, Grok, in spreading child abuse material and explicit deepfakes.

Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino has also been invited for a voluntary interview at the cybercrime division of the Paris prosecutor’s office.

The US Department of Justice has reportedly refused to assist in the probe, citing concerns over free expression and the regulation of American businesses.

Musk has yet to confirm whether he will attend the hearing, which follows a search of X's Paris premises earlier this year.
