Musk Uses Slurs to Mock French Prosecutors Investigating X

The probe has widened to include Holocaust denial, sexual deepfakes and possible child sexual abuse images, and Musk and Linda Yaccarino missed a summons.

  • The SpaceX and Tesla CEO, under investigation alongside CEO Linda Yaccarino, recently failed to respond to a summons from French judicial authorities for an informal interview.
  • Following a mid-February raid on Twitter's Paris office, Musk previously labeled French magistrates "mentally retarded," escalating tensions between the tycoon and the judiciary.
  • At the time of the raid, the social network condemned what it called an abusive judicial action with political motives, denying any wrongdoing regarding the investigation.
