Elon Musk failed to attend a voluntary interview in Paris, where French prosecutors are investigating X over alleged child abuse images and deepfake content.
The probe focuses on X’s AI chatbot Grok, suspected of generating non-consensual sexual deepfakes and Holocaust denial, and includes allegations of data misuse.
Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino have dismissed the investigation as politically motivated, while US authorities declined to assist French prosecutors.
