Earlier, French prosecutors, along with Europol and a specialized cybercrime unit, conducted searches at the Paris offices of Elon Musk’s social media platform X. According to AFP, the investigation into the platform was opened in January 2025 after complaints were filed regarding the operation of its algorithms and its integrated Grok chatbot. The complaints alleged that the system had generated explicit content and engaged in Holocaust denial.
