The Paris prosecutors carried out searches at the French offices of the social media platform X, and its founder, Elon Musk, was called in for an interview in April, according to a report by Le Figaro on Tuesday.
The newspaper reported that the Paris prosecutor's office has ordered Musk and the company's previous CEO, Linda Yaccarino, to come in for "voluntary testimony."
The newspaper reported that the French judicial system has been looking into X since January 2025, based on allegations that the social network used algorithms which were supposedly “able to interfere with automated data processing systems.” The prosecutor's office stated that judicial authorities and cybercrime experts have started the necessary analysis and are carrying out the initial technical investigations.
