A search was being carried out at the French offices of Elon Musk’s social media platform X as part of an investigation opened in January 2025, the Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.

The prosecutor’s cybercrime unit is conducting the raid, it said in a statement, with Europol also involved.

Both X chairman Musk and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino have been summoned to appear at hearings in April, while X employees will be questioned as witnesses, according to the Paris prosecutor.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the investigation was broadened to include “Grok’s sexualised deepfakes”.
