French police search X office in Paris, summon Elon Musk for questioning

French police and Europol searched the local office of X, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced on Tuesday.

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation launched in 2025 on allegations of “fraudulent extraction of data” of an automated data-processing system “by an organized group.”

French prosecutors’ cybercrime unit said the investigation has now been expanded to cover other alleged crimes, including complicity in possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, privacy violations, and Holocaust denial.

The expansion of the investigation comes as X and its owner Elon Musk face widespread criticism for allowing its Grok AI to be used to generate nonconsensual imagery, including child abuse imagery, of other people on its platform.

Musk, who bought X (previously Twitter) in 2022, and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino were summoned for questioning on April 20. Unnamed X staffers were also summoned for the same week, per the prosecutor’s announcement.

X and spokespeople for eMed, where Yaccarino is now the chief executive, did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.

When reached for comment, Maylis De Roeck, a spokesperson for the Paris prosecutor’s office, confirmed the raid in a statement: “The Public Prosecutor’s Office’s objective is ultimately to ensure platform X’s compliance with French law, given that it operates within the national territory.”
