French prosecutors have escalated their inquiry into Elon Musk (CEO of X) and his social media platform X, launching a criminal investigation into the dissemination of illegal content, including sexual images of minors and Holocaust-denial claims. This action follows an earlier raid on X's Paris office and a summons for Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to appear for questioning, which they ignored. Prosecutors have now made the investigation official and are seeking to compel their appearance, warning that failure to comply could result in preliminary criminal charges against them. The Paris public prosecutor's office, led by Laure Beccuau, stated that the investigation aims to uphold the law and protect individuals victimized by online criminal activities. The situation is further complicated by X's previous refusal to comply with a court order to disclose its algorithm, raising concerns about accountability on the platform.
