French prosecutors summon Elon Musk over X and Grok AI investigation into deepfakes and political interference

French authorities have summoned Elon Musk as part of an investigation into X's algorithm and its AI chatbot Grok. The probe, launched in January 2025, examines allegations of political interference in French politics through X's systems. Prosecutors expanded their inquiry to include dissemination of Holocaust denial content and sexual deepfakes generated by Grok. Musk previously insulted French officials in a French-language X post, calling them "retards." In February, prosecutors issued summonses but noted the absence of initially summoned individuals without naming Musk specifically. They emphasized that non-appearance doesn't halt the investigation. The billionaire faces questioning about content dissemination on his platforms. French prosecutors seek to interview Musk regarding these multiple allegations.
