French prosecutors have summoned Elon Musk and former X Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino to Paris for voluntary interviews in a criminal investigation into misconduct on the X platform. The probe centers on allegations that X hosted child sexual abuse material and deepfake content. Additional X employees are scheduled to appear as witnesses during the same week. The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed the summons but has not announced charges. Neither Musk nor Yaccarino has been charged. Their legal status remains that of persons summoned for voluntary interview, not formal defendants. The investigation reflects broader European regulatory pressure on X following France's enforcement of the EU Digital Services Act, which requires platforms to remove illegal content or face significant penalties. No court, docket number, or filing date has been made public.
