Ok - this has now gotten SERIOUS! Musk and X (former CEO Yaccarino) now face a formal criminal investigation by France.
French cybercrime authorities are now investigating alleged algorithmic manipulation by X to influence and interfere in French politics, and allegations that Musk and X knowingly allowed users of the AI chatbot Grok to create and spread Holocaust denials and nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake images, and child sexual abuse materials on X.
The Paris public prosecutorâs office is requesting indictments of X.AI Holdings Corp, X Corp, and X AI, Elon Musk, and Linda Yaccarino. If they fail to appear they may face judicial warrants that will serve as indictments. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/07/french-prosecutors-probe-of-elon-musk-x-now-a-criminal-investigation.html
