French investigators raid Paris offices of Elon Musk's X

Tuesday, 3 February 2026 10:58

Investigators have raided the Paris offices of Elon Musk's social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.

French prosecutors said they were widening their probe into the platform and had summoned its billionaire owner for questioning.

The investigation, launched last month, centres on allegations of algorithm abuse and fraudulent data extractions.

It has now been broadened to include complaints against Grok, the platform's controversial AI chatbot.
