French Prosecutors Summon Elon Musk Over Child Abuse Image and Deepfake Allegations
Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino have been summoned to Paris for voluntary interviews as part of an investigation into allegations concerning the social media platform X. These allegations include the spread of child sexual abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes generated by the AI system Grok, and potential manipulation of company values. French prosecutors are also investigating Grok’s content, which included Holocaust denial, and have alerted U.S. authorities regarding potential criminal offenses. Despite a U.S. Justice Department letter suggesting they would not assist, French investigations are expected to continue regardless of Musk and Yaccarino’s appearance.
