(JEWISH GROUP) Paris prosecutors summon Elon Musk after raid on X's French offices
Prosecutors in Paris said they asked Elon Musk to appear for questioning as part of an investigation into the distribution of sexual deepfakes and Holocaust denial content, after searching X's offices in the French capital early Tuesday.
The search was carried out by the prosecutor's cybercrime unit, in partnership with French police's own cybercrime unit and Europol, the office said on X.
A voluntary summons was issued for Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino to appear and answer questions about the platform's adherence to French law.
The prosecutor's office said it was investigating potential criminal offenses including complicity in the possession and distribution of "child pornography images," the violation of personal rights through the generation of "sexual deepfakes," the denial of "crimes against humanity" and the alleged fraudulent extraction of data from an automated processing system, as part of an organized gang.
