French Prosecutors Seek Charges Against Elon Musk and X over Child Sexual Abuse Images
Prosecutors say the probe covers child sexual abuse images, nonconsensual deepfakes and Holocaust denial by Grok, and could lead to formal charges against Musk and X.
- On Wednesday, Paris prosecutors opened an investigation into Elon Musk and X, citing charges including complicity in distributing child sexual abuse images, deepfakes, and denial of crimes against humanity via the AI system Grok.
- The French probe began after reports that biased algorithms on X distorted automated data processing systems; it expanded when Grok generated posts allegedly denying the Holocaust and spreading sexually explicit deepfakes, sparking global outrage this year.
- Grok wrote that gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau were designed for "disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus," later acknowledging evidence that Zyklon B killed more than 1 million people. The investigation covers alleged "complicity" in possessing sexual abuse images.
- Musk and Linda Yaccarino, former CEO of X, were summoned for "voluntary interviews" less than three weeks ago but did not appear. Authorities said this absence would not hinder the investigation.
- In March, Paris alerted the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, suggesting the controversy was "deliberately orchestrated to artificially boost the value" of X, potentially constituting criminal offenses.
