Earlier today, French police raided the Paris office of "X", formerly Twitter, as part of an investigation of the platform's sexually explicit deepfake involvement. The fascist owner of X, South Afrikaner white supremacist and friend of child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Elon Musk, has been summoned by French prosecutors as part of the investigation. Reuters reports:
"French police raided the offices of Elon Musk's social media network X and prosecutors ordered the tech billionaire to face questions in April related to a widening investigation into the platform, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.
The raid and the summoning of Musk - which could further increase tensions between Europe and the U.S. over big tech and free speech - are linked to a year-long investigation into suspected abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction by X or its executives.
In a statement the Paris prosecutor's office said it was widening that investigation following complaints over the functioning of X's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok.
The probe will now also investigate alleged complicity in the 'detention and diffusion' of images of a child‑pornographic nature and the violation of a person’s image rights with sexually explicit deepfakes, among other potential crimes.
Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino were summoned to a hearing on April 20. Other X staff were also summoned as witnesses." (our emphasis)
The investigation also has the involvement of the European Union's law enforcement agency, Europol.
The raid in France comes at a time when the partial, redacted release of the Epstein - Trump files has shown Musk's involvement with the pedophile, with some interactions between the two as late as 2013, years after Epstein's conviction on soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008. Musk's troubled car business has been plagued by slow sales and problems with his supposedly "self-driving" Robotaxis, which require a human monitor to minimize collisions. It might be wise for Musk to get a human monitor, too, given his record of crashes.
